- 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.
- Ann McGinnis: But look how well Stroh planned his escape. You really think we're gonna catch him getting on a plane or the subway?
- Sharon Raydor: Stroh is a manhunt, Chief. Burning Man is a rescue. We still have a young woman's life to save.
- Gloria Lim: Captain Raydor is right.
- Ann McGinnis: You all remember my shadow. Deputy City Attorney Lim, here to sort out our response. Am I wrong, or did you just agree with the captain?
- Gloria Lim: I did. The L.A.P.D. is not responsible for the judge's murder or for Stroh's escape, which happened when he was in custody at the county. Stroh is a problem for the Sheriff's office, not us, and every resource that we shift from Burning Man to Stroh increases the city's liability...
- Fritz Howard: Next person that Stroh kills isn't gonna care about our liability.
- Gloria Lim: I'm just trying to help you prioritize your investigation.
- Russell Taylor: But how do we pursue Burning Man? We don't even know who he is?
- Sharon Raydor: But we do have a clue.
- [points the Stroh's message]
- Russell Taylor: "Find Jesus of Nazareth." You can't think that means anything.
- Amy Sykes: It has to, Chief. Why else stop in the middle of his escape to write something on the wall?
- Russell Taylor: And Stroh is really helping us because...?
- Amy Sykes: The second we find out he's not, all our focus goes back to him.
- Sharon Raydor: And that is the deal Stroh really wanted to make, his chance to escape in exchange for Burning Man, and that is the deal we have gotta take here.
- Julio Sanchez: You like shooting at cops, huh? Is that it? You like to shoot at cops and kill girls?
- Markos Christakis aka Burning Man: Stop. Stop.
- 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.
- [last lines]
- Driver: Dr. Tom?
- Phillip Stroh: Yes, that's me.
- Driver: And you want to go to the Salton Sea?
- Phillip Stroh: As a first step, yes, but if you can wait, take me to my next stop, that would be lovely. Good?
- Driver: So where else will you be going?
- Phillip Stroh: Oh, not far. Maybe just Palm Springs. Desert is perfect for me this time of year.
- Driver: Well, I will get you there, Doctor. I will get you there.
- Phillip Stroh: That's what I love about Uber. You guys are always so reliable.
- 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.
- Phillip Stroh: [drops the pen] Oh, I'm sorry.
- Judge Stephen Schaeffer: Every damn time.
- Phillip Stroh: It won't happen again.
- D.D.A. Emma Rios: Captain, eighteen years ago, Stroh represented a juvenile sex-crime suspect, which is why he didn't show up on the LexisNexis search. He was under eighteen, and his records were sealed. The kid refused to give the arresting officer his legal name and said his name was...
- Sharon Raydor: Jesus of Nazareth.
- D.D.A. Emma Rios: In keeping with L.A.P.D. policy, he's still listed under the same name he gave during his arrest. You may be interested to know there are thirty-five other Jesus of Nazareths in your records as well as a hundred and thirty Jesus Christs and four hundred Elvis Presleys.
- Fritz Howard: If it is Stroh and he is armed, we shoot to kill. Agreed?
- Rusty Beck: Yes, yes. Agree.
- Russell Taylor: Well, he can't get away with a rifle. Surround the mall. And do not let this asshole escape from us again.
- Gloria Lim: Shooting only if necessary.
- Ann McGinnis: That's up to Stroh, not me.
- 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.
