Quotes 

• Hank Voight : From now one we keep everything in-house. I don't care how they do things in other districts, or how you came up. This is intelligence, *my* squad. Tell me the truth so I can lie for you. And if you ever try to go over my head, it will be the *last* head you ever go over.

• Antonio Dawson : [approaching Eric Cooper's house and knocking on door]  Eric Cooper! Hey, Coop, open up!

  Jay Halstead : [noticing pry marks on Coop's door]  Pry marks.

  Hank Voight : [to Jay and Antonio]  Breach.

  Antonio Dawson : [entering after Jay shotguns the door lock]  Police! Clear!

  Detective Julia Willhite : Police! Clear!

  Erin Lindsay : Police! Clear!

  Hank Voight : [seeing Coop's severed head on the kitchen countertop]  Next head I see better be Pulpo's.

• Hank Voight : It's okay, Lieutenant. We got it covered. I'll let you know if he's upstairs.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : Who?

  Hank Voight : Shane Cameron. I left you a message.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : We're following up on the car.

  Hank Voight : What car?

  Lt. Bruce Belden : Plate match to a black four-door seen leaving the scene of the Coop murder yesterday. Supposed to be parked around here.

  Hank Voight : I never got that info.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : Yeah, I must have dropped the ball on that.

  Hank Voight : [into his radio]  Terminate. Pull back. Targets may be in the building.

  Antonio Dawson : Jules.

  [a shotgun blast bursts through the door and hits Julia in the neck] 

  Antonio Dawson : 10-1! Officer shot!

• D'Anthony : If I told you something, not because you paid me, but because I wanted to tell you, I wouldn't be a rat, would I?

  Hank Voight : [barbecuing]  Nah, just two guys breaking bread and having a conversation.

  D'Anthony : I don't see no bread.

  Hank Voight : It's an expression.

• Hank Voight : Stay here.

  Erin Lindsay : That's your big plan, for me to stay in then car? What'd you bring me for, then?

  Hank Voight : You cheer me up.

  Erin Lindsay : [sarcastic]  Yay.

• Hank Voight : You know, I basically look people in the eye for a living. You have a future beyond this neighborhood, D'Anthony. It's okay to want that. When you start to try and get out, whenever that is...

  [handing over a business card] 

  Hank Voight : ...you call me.

• Antonio Dawson : Andres Diaz, AKA Pulpo. The Octopus. He's got dual citizenship here and Colombia. Me and Jules had him on our radar five years back when he was working his way up from street enforcer.

  Hank Voight : Yeah, I remember his name. Didn't he beat a double-murder rap?

  Detective Julia Willhite : The two key witnesses were killed.

  Erin Lindsay : Was he cutting off heads back then, too?

  Detective Julia Willhite : No, he learned a thing or two since he was in Colombia.

  Erin Lindsay : Oh.

  Jay Halstead : What type of player was he? What part of the city did he hold down?

  Antonio Dawson : Oh, see, that's the thing. He wasn't affiliated with any faction. Nobody knew his real script. He was just in it for the money and the blood.

• Hank Voight : You ever heard the expression "10% of the cops do 90% of the work"?

  Jay Halstead : I have.

  Hank Voight : Well, this Intelligence unit is part of the 10%. With that said, I appreciate your aggressiveness, but you were instructed to do an undercover buy in the doorway. I never told you to cross the threshold. If you had, you and Lindsay might not have gotten out of there alive.

• Hank Voight : [seeing cuts and bruises on D'Anthony]  What happened?

  D'Anthony : They got pissed at me for hiding in the closet; said I should have backed Rev up. I wanna get out.

• Ron Perry : I'm just trying to do the math here. A few months ago, you work out a deal, get yourself out of jail, and somehow, you land the biggest job in the city; running an intelligence unit in my district.

  Hank Voight : Yeah, things worked out.

  Ron Perry : I tell ya... I got no choice to admit that, somehow, you are connected upstairs in ways that I... I do not understand.

  Hank Voight : Hmm.

  Ron Perry : But, Sergeant... why the hell is a woman named Gradishar from Internal Affairs calling me up about you?

  Hank Voight : You say Gradishar? Never heard of her.

  Ron Perry : If you're still running game out on the street, cowboy, being a dirty cop, I will personally throw you off a roof.

• D'Anthony : So how would this work, you getting me out and all?

  Hank Voight : Leave that to me. And it may take a couple days. Just need you to stay alive 'til then.

  D'Anthony : What's in it for you?

  Hank Voight : You're a good kid.

  D'Anthony : I don't got to work it off, like be a snitch or something? 'Cause that ain't happening.

  Hank Voight : No.

• Lt. Bruce Belden : And how old is the kid?

  Hank Voight : 13.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : You can't interview him without parental consent.

  Hank Voight : Dad's dead. Mom's in jail. I notified DCFS.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : And they said what?

  Hank Voight : I left a message.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : You know, running around half-cocked in a gang unit is one thing, but being the boss of an intelligence unit is another matter entirely.

  Hank Voight : I run my squad as I see fit, Lieutenant. You do your detective work how you want.

• Lt. Bruce Belden : You want to brief me on any new developments?

  Hank Voight : I was about to ask you the same thing.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : If we came up with something, you'd be the first to know.

  Hank Voight : This ain't about who takes credit. End of the day, you can stand in front of the cameras. But this is supposed to be a joint investigation; your words. We haven't heard dick from you, or any of your detectives working this case.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : Okay, I'll double-check on that. Now, what's with the 13-year-old kid?

  Hank Voight : Still here.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : He give you anything?

  Hank Voight : Enough.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : Okay, then kick him.

  Hank Voight : No, that's been handled, Lieutenant. Commander Perry has given me another day 'til we get the offenders into custody. It's for the kid's own safety.

  Lt. Bruce Belden : The law's the law, Voight. I'm sure you left that part out when you were doing a soft-shoe for your commander. I'm telling you, based on my conversation with Deputy Chief Hammond, if you're not gonna charge this kid, then notify his relatives and have 'em come and pick him up. And the fact that I'm here, once again, explaining to you basic police protocol is a prime example why people are reluctant to bring you into the loop during these type of heater cases.

• Hank Voight : What's up, Maurice?

  Maurice Owens : Let me guess. Rev. Wannabe shot callers, man. These fools want to grind it up to sixth gear before they even know how to drive.

  Hank Voight : He got in bed with a cartel?

  Maurice Owens : Colombians.

  Hank Voight : The name Pulpo mean anything to you?

  Maurice Owens : No.

  Hank Voight : Who in Rev's posse might know something?

  Maurice Owens : He subcontracted the transport; some white dude named Coop.

  Hank Voight : That a first or a last name?

  Maurice Owens : Look it up. What, I got to do everything for you?

• Jay Halstead : Colombian authorities IDed this guy as Omar Rojas, freelance hitman.

  Hank Voight : So, Rev was the boss. Coop moved the merchandise. Who's the next in the chain of command?

  Detective Julia Willhite : Well, that was the problem. Rev was only in town from Baton Rouge for a year. There's no structure to his crew.

  Hank Voight : And nobody's talking?

  Detective Julia Willhite : Nope.

  Hank Voight : All right, when Olinsky gets in, you tell...

  Alvin Olinsky : [at his desk]  I'm right here.

  Hank Voight : Anything from your CIs?

  Alvin Olinsky : No dice. Something about not wanting to have their heads chopped off.

• Hank Voight : [kicks a line in the dirt]  See that? You cross this line, it'll land you in the bottom of the river.

• Hank Voight : [a suspect opens fire on them]  Get the long guns!

• Erin Lindsay : Hey, I got a couple of CIs I can reach out to, see if they know anything about Pulpo.

  Hank Voight : Good.

  Erin Lindsay : Is that who we're going to see, a CI of yours?

  Hank Voight : Basically.

  Erin Lindsay : What the hell does that mean? Either they are or they aren't.
