Breach of Faith (2010)

James Martin Kelly: Lieutenant Seth Casey

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Seth Casey : Westen. I guess I should be thanking you. According to Patty, if you and your buddy Sam hadn't been around, things could've been a lot worse.

  Michael Westen : I was just helping out a friend.

  Lieutenant Seth Casey : Got the department's file on you. Says you have a fondness for explosives. Just so happens I got a safe blown out of the floor in there.

  Michael Westen : That was like that when we got here.

• Lieutenant Seth Casey : This is Lieutenant Seth Casey, Miami Metro Police.

  ["Lt. Casey" / "Tough S.O.B."] 

  Lieutenant Seth Casey : Whoever you are, if you want this to work out, you will pick up the phone. Right now. We need to talk.

  Josh Wagner : W-what do I do? What do I say?

  Sam Axe : Mike, this train's about to start moving real fast. It's not too late for you to hop off, but I'm staying.

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  In a hostage crisis, first contact with the police is critical. One wrong word from a hostage taker can be the difference between the start of negotiations or the start of an armed assault.

  Lieutenant Seth Casey : Pick up the phone!

  Michael Westen : [as Josh goes to answer the phone]  Stop!

  Josh Wagner : He said I should...

  Michael Westen : Leave it. You sound like you're gonna jump off a bridge. You answer a phone like that, and you'll have a SWAT team banging through the door before you hang up. I'll get it.

  Michael Westen : [to Sam]  I leave when you leave.

  Michael Westen : [timidly into the phone]  Hello? Hello?

  Lieutenant Seth Casey : Who am I speaking with?

  Michael Westen : He says I can't answer any of your questions. He says that... no one will get hurt as long as... you don't... come any closer.

  Lieutenant Seth Casey : O-Okay, but tell him I can't help him... u-unless I can talk to him.

  Michael Westen : He-he says I got to go.

  Lieutenant Seth Casey : Wait, wait, wait. Don't hang up. Tell him the line's open. Anytime he wants to talk, all he has to do is...

  [Michael hangs up] 

  Michael Westen : You hung up on him?

  Josh Wagner : This is more of a "less is more" situation. I'm just buying time.

  Sam Axe : Okay, Josh, we're gonna help you get your money back, but only if you let us call the shots.

  Josh Wagner : Are you sure about this? You could go to jail.

  Sam Axe : Right now we're just two friends trying to end this peacefully. As long as it stays that way, Mike and I can get your money back and stay out of jail. Deal?

  Josh Wagner : [sighs, shakes hands]  Deal.

  Michael Westen : Josh.

  [Josh is distracted for a moment, long enough for Sam to get the gun from him]
