Special Master: Part Two (2015)

G.W. Bailey: Louie Provenza

Quotes 

• Rusty Beck : I just thought maybe that joining SWAT would make it harder for Stroh to get at me.

  Louie Provenza : Son, son, listen. No, no, no. If you join SWAT because of Stroh, you are giving him a say in your destiny. Look, if you wanna spend your days looking over your shoulder, afraid, wondering when the blow will fall, you can just wait till you get married.

• Sharon Raydor : Lieutenant? What happened to our suspect?

  Louie Provenza : Guy jumped off his roof into an angry Julio. I-I'll fill you in later.

• Andy Flynn : Where is Phillip Stroh?

  Markos Christakis aka Burning Man : Phillip? He's not in jail?

  Louie Provenza : At the moment, no.

  Markos Christakis aka Burning Man : I haven't seen Phillip since I was twenty. Of course, he would call from time to time to congratulate me and encourage my great work, the work of gods. I am a god. You know that, right? I am Mars come to life.

  Louie Provenza : Obviously. But even gods can be betrayed. Stroh betrayed you. He helped us. Stroh is how we caught you.

  Andy Flynn : And if you could tell us where Stroh is right now, and if you have any idea what he's up to, we could make things easier for you.

  Markos Christakis aka Burning Man : I'm sorry. Phillip was nothing more than an advisor, really. I can only assume he did what he told me to do.

  Andy Flynn : And what was that?

  Markos Christakis aka Burning Man : To prepare for my escape long before I needed one.

  Markos Christakis aka Burning Man : [voiceover]  To have plenty of cash hidden somewhere safe, another identity, weapons. Oh, and most important... never leave a witness. Never, ever leave a witness.

• Sharon Raydor : Lieutenant, you don't really believe that Phillip Stroh predicted three murders out of thin air.

  Louie Provenza : Well, of course not. He was in communication with someone, or somehow.

  Sharon Raydor : But he wasn't. All he had were the books he was reading.

  Louie Provenza : You don't think Phillip Stroh has found God?

  Sharon Raydor : No, Lieutenant. I think he's found Mars.

• Louie Provenza : Okay, Markos. Uh, we have a lot of questions for you down the road, but right now, we are interested in one thing and one thing only.

  Markos Christakis aka Burning Man : How many women I killed?

  Andy Flynn : Okay. How many women did you kill?

  Markos Christakis aka Burning Man : Not enough.

• Chuck Cooper : Undercover can set up outside so Burning Man doesn't see us. That's no problem, but...

  Julio Sanchez : But by the time the guy gets here, the girl will be dead.

  Andy Flynn : That feels like a problem.

  Louie Provenza : Even when we get ahead of him, we're behind.
