Quotes 

• Paula White : In addition to the unique eastern exposure, this has outstanding flow. And this living room is the largest we've seen.

  Carrie Wells : It's 342 square feet. It's actually the smallest we've seen.

  Paula White : Uh, no. West 83rd was 260 square feet.

  Carrie Wells : No, 360 square feet. 20 by 18.

  Paula White : Well, 98th Street was definitely smaller.

  Carrie Wells : 348 square feet. It also had northern exposure.

  Al Burns : All right, she has a memory thing. Don't...

  Paula White : So, uh, let's look at the plus side. This is a recent reno. They will install new appliances. Uh, there's... minimal street sound. Oh, and... have I mentioned, the former tenant started her very own successful cupcake company right here.

  Carrie Wells , Al Burns : Oh.

  Paula White : Yeah.

  Carrie Wells : Well, it's a good thing she was making cupcakes, 'cause you couldn't fit a whole cake in here.

• Al Burns : [after going apartment hunting]  Why so shy in there? I was hoping you'd speak up.

  Carrie Wells : You asked me to come along; I'm gonna give my opinion.

  Al Burns : I asked you along because the brokers think a couple is more stable.

  Carrie Wells : [amused laugh]  Ha! You brought me along for stability? That's a first.

  [letting another tenant pass] 

  Carrie Wells : Oh. Besides, your red couch, there's no way it's gonna fit in that living room.

  Al Burns : Well, I hate to tell you, I got rid of it.

  Carrie Wells : What? The one from Syracuse? Why? I liked that couch.

  Al Burns : I remember.

  Carrie Wells : It was firm, but forgiving in all the right places.

• Al Burns : You know what? That couch went to Goodwill back in March. When was the last time you were even at my place? Like, a year ago?

  Carrie Wells : One year, four months, three days.

  Al Burns : Ah, we had a plan last month; I was gonna cook my famous lemon sole, and you were gonna clean out my closet.

  Carrie Wells : [teasing]  Wow. I wonder why that plan fell through.

• Carrie Wells : So, Jo, what do we got?

  Joanne Webster : Okay, the bullet entry tear pattern in the back of the jacket and the direction of his fall would indicate that the shooter was behind him and to his left.

  Al Burns : What kind of mugger shoots his victim from behind?

  Carrie Wells : Here's the thing. Car door's open, right? Body's over here. Why?

  Al Burns : The perp sneaks up on him... but Jenkins hears him, moves back to face him.

  Carrie Wells : No, Jenkins was shot from behind. So if he turned to face the shooter, he would have had to turn away again in order to be shot in the back.

  Joanne Webster : He saw the gun and instinctively turned away.

  Al Burns : Nah, you never turn away from a gun in your face. You ever been mugged? About the only thing you can remember is the gun.

  Carrie Wells : He wasn't afraid of being shot. He was heading back to his car. Jenkins wasn't mugged. He knew his killer.

• Al Burns : Smart not mentioning we came down here together. To my cousin's wedding.

  Carrie Wells : That was a memorable weekend.

  Al Burns : Mmm. You mean the giant cockroach under the bed in our fancy hotel? I remember that.

  Carrie Wells : Really? Is that all you remember?

• Rupa Nair : [after Manning showed up outside her apartment]  When I realized who it was, I tried to run, but I pretty much just planted my face in the street, and not very gracefully.

  Carrie Wells : Well, it's hard to be graceful when you're running for your life.

• Eliot Delson : Gordon Frost. If things go right for him, he's gonna be the next D.A.

  Carrie Wells : Well, somebody eat his birthday cake?

  Eliot Delson : Except he's right. If we can't bring in Manning, they'll just find someone else who can.

  Carrie Wells : Based on what? There's not one piece of physical evidence that ties Shawn Manning to Jenkins' murder.

  Eliot Delson : Don't start, Carrie.

  Carrie Wells : He didn't attack Rupa tonight.

  Eliot Delson : Then what was he doing there?

  Carrie Wells : I think he was looking for her help.

  Eliot Delson : You... you think he was looking for her help?

  Carrie Wells : Yes. I think he wanted to see if she could identify the man who really attacked her.

  Eliot Delson : According to the law, he's already been identified.

  Carrie Wells : What if the law's wrong? What if Shawn Manning did not rape Rupa Nair?

  Eliot Delson : No, no, I am not going down that road. Shawn Manning confessed. He was convicted by a jury of his peers. All I need you to do is find Manning, understand? Leave the rest to me, okay, Detective?

• Al Burns : You really think he's innocent.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, and I think you need to take a harder look at Cordero. If not for the rape, at least for Jenkins' murder. Look, Cordero transferred through Dannemora Prison when Shawn was there. Maybe that's when Shawn got onto him.

  Al Burns : Okay, hypothetically, but hypothetically only, in order for Cordero to have a motive to kill Jenkins, he has to be the real rapist. Otherwise, he'd have nothing to fear, right?

  Carrie Wells : Agreed.

  Al Burns : Okay. To make a case against Cordero for the rape, we'd have to put him in the park at the time.

  Carrie Wells : Also agreed.

  Al Burns : Except there's no indication he was in the park. There's not a single witness.

  Carrie Wells : You've been looking into Cordero yourself, haven't you?

  Al Burns : Of course I've been looking into Cordero. I got Murray out there tracking him right now. But there's no "there" there, Carrie. There's not a single database where his name ever comes up.

  Carrie Wells : You're forgetting the one database we haven't tapped into.

• Al Burns : All right, you want to tell me what the hell you're doing?

  Carrie Wells : ADA Frost parked his car in this lot. I saw the ticket stub on his windshield. 892.

  Al Burns : Frost?

  Carrie Wells : [finding the corresponding ticket]  Yep. And look at this. The receipt is stamped; last night, right before Cordero was shot.

  Al Burns : Carrie, Frost is gonna be the next Manhattan D.A.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, I wouldn't bank on that.

• Carrie Wells : We can place Gordon Frost at Cordero's murder.

  Eliot Delson : Gordon Frost? He's the head of the Homicide Bureau. He goes to murder scenes all the time.

  Carrie Wells : Really? Before they're committed?

  Eliot Delson : Okay... what are you two talking about? And I say that with some reluctance.

  Al Burns : Frost parked his car at Molinero's ten minutes before Bobby Cordero was killed there.

  Eliot Delson : Sometimes my therapist says "Begin at the beginning" and, oh, I want to kill him when he says it, but I think I'm gonna say that now.

• Al Burns : We think Manning and Jenkins made Cordero for the Central Park rape. We think Jenkins then took it to Gordon Frost.

  Eliot Delson : Okay, but then how do we get to Gordon Frost killing someone he's never heard of?

  Carrie Wells : Because he had heard of him. Listen, we got a report from a mounted cop that can place Cordero in Central Park the night of the rape; only that report never made it into the D.A.'s file.

  Al Burns : Gordon Frost was in charge of coordinating the evidence. He had the confession from Manning, but he also had DNA from the scene that did not match his. The last thing he wanted was to open it up to other suspects.

  Carrie Wells : So he suppresses the evidence. Listen, Frost figures out that Jenkins is onto Cordero. He knows that eventually that cop's report is gonna surface, and then he can kiss his D.A. career goodbye.

  Eliot Delson : So he kills Jenkins and then Cordero to cover his tracks. I can't believe I just said that. Who else knows about this?

  Al Burns : Just you and us.

  Eliot Delson : Good. Keep it that way.

  Carrie Wells : What?

  Eliot Delson : If word gets out that we're looking at Frost, right or wrong, we're all looking for new jobs.

  Carrie Wells : [talking over him]  Eliot, we can't just close our eyes and make believe this didn't happen. Shawn Manning's life is on the line here.

  Eliot Delson : Look, this city is going through a rather painful case of deja vu right now. Before I make that worse, we need to get Manning off the streets. Then we go after Frost.

• Carrie Wells : We had her right where we wanted her.

  Al Burns : It's okay. I'll find a place. Or maybe I won't. The fact is, I'm doing pretty good in the one-ones for now.

  Carrie Wells : I like living in the same borough. There's something cozy about it.

  Al Burns : Did you just say "cozy"?

  Carrie Wells : You know what? Fine, move to Manhattan. See if I care.

  Al Burns : [laughing]  Well, I can't now. I finally bought a new sofa. You should come over... tonight and try it out.

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, I can't. I gotta... I gotta... wash my hair.

  Al Burns : Oh, fine. It's a really nice couch.

  Carrie Wells : I bet it is. But you know what's gonna happen. First it's the couch, then it's the lemon sole, then the next thing you know... I'm cleaning your closet.
