Quotes 

• Investigator Blanpied : You first met the alleged nightclub arsonist, Isaiah McCann, when he was arrested for the murder of another passenger, Kelly Taylor.

  Michaela Stone : Yes.

  Investigator Blanpied : And your investigation exonerated him.

  Michaela Stone : Mm-hmm, because he didn't do it and we caught the killer.

  Investigator Fong : With one of your many coincidental solves.

  Investigator Blanpied : McCann knew your niece, Olive Stone. They were members of the same cult. Olive is the one who identified Mr. McCann's attackers at the church, am I right? Your niece must really look up to you. Her cool aunt, a Flight 828 survivor, a successful detective. She'd probably do anything you asked.

  Michaela Stone : No, that is...

  Officer Dibacco : Olive Stone's statement in the assault case checked out.

  Investigator Blanpied : Your brother, Ben Stone, he was involved in a number of your cases, as well, wasn't he?

• Kate Bowers : Out of my hands now. She's gonna give the rest of her testimony down at 1PP.

  Jared Vasquez : [seeing Dibacco, Jared recognizes him from having met Simon]  She's not gonna make it downtown.

  [approaching Michaela] 

  Jared Vasquez : Michaela Stone, you're under arrest for arson, conspiracy to commit arson, and homicide.

  Michaela Stone : Are you out of your mind right now?

  Jared Vasquez : Please put your hands on the desk.

  Michaela Stone : Captain, what is...

  [he starts to handcuff her] 

  Michaela Stone : Excuse me!

  Officer Dibacco : Detective Vasquez, what do you think you're doing?

  Jared Vasquez : It's called police work. I'm arresting my suspect. You have the right to remain silent.

  Michaela Stone : Are you seriously trying to handcuff me in our own precinct?

  Investigator Fong : Detective, your colleague's a subject in an active Internal Affairs investigation. According to procedure...

  Jared Vasquez : You can take your procedure and shove it right up your ass. Detective Stone's in custody. She's not going anywhere.

• Officer Dibacco : Now, the two of you are supposed to be the unbiased voice of justice, not looking to take her down because a passenger with a badge doesn't reflect well on the department.

  Investigator Blanpied : Sir, we are trying to understand what involvement Detective Stone may have had in the nightclub fire.

  Michaela Stone : You want to know about the fire? Fine. It was a trap set to kill me, my family, and a slew of others...

  Officer Dibacco : [urging her to shut up]  Michaela.

  Investigator Fong : Why don't you tell us how you knew it was a trap?

  Officer Dibacco : You know, if you keep talking, they're gonna hang you with your own words. Detective Stone was a target of the attack in question. It strains credulity that you would try and pin it on her.

• Michaela Stone : This is so wrong. This entire inquiry's driven by circumstantial evidence and anti-828 bias.

  Officer Dibacco : You've been on the other side of this table plenty of times. They're baiting you, waiting for you to trip up.

  Michaela Stone : This was supposed to be about Jared and the Xers.

  Officer Dibacco : Well, forget about Vasquez. Save yourself.

  Michaela Stone : From what, a conspiracy theory that I burnt these people down? That's crap. They know it.

  Officer Dibacco : People have questions, okay? You make a good fall guy. Don't help them.

  Michaela Stone : [sarcastic]  Thank you for that.

  Officer Dibacco : Oh, and, uh, simple answers; yes or no. And for God's sakes, when I tell you not to answer, shut the hell up.

• Officer Dibacco : You got nothing, 'cause if you did, we'd be having a real different conversation.

  Investigator Fong : Why don't you tell us what you think is going on, Officer Dibacco?

  Officer Dibacco : Whistleblower retaliation. Vazquez is trying to shut her up.

  Investigator Blanpied : Our questions about Detective Stone's record have nothing to do with Vazquez.

  Michaela Stone : So those files just walked themselves into your hand?

• [last lines] 

  Michaela Stone : You know damn well I didn't start that fire. You're being vindictive. I don't care if I burn this entire precinct down. I will out you for every remotely questionable thing you've ever done!

  Jared Vasquez : [putting her in a cell]  Mick, shut up! You have to keep your mouth shut. I just saved your life.

• Michaela Stone : Jared is the criminal here! You have the damn surveillance!

  Investigator Blanpied : The surveillance you provided is inconclusive.

  Investigator Fong : A guy is allowed an off-duty drink.

  Michaela Stone : This isn't just any bar!

  Investigator Blanpied : If you can prove Vasquez is guilty of actual crimes, we're all ears.

  Officer Dibacco : This is your badge we're talking about. Don't take the bait.

  Michaela Stone : They don't care about the truth. They're gonna run me for it anyways. Look, Jared brought this on himself. He brings a threat to my family. You don't think I'm gonna fight back?

• Michaela Stone : I had nothing to do with the fire.

  Investigator Fong : You had motive and opportunity. This can't be all just one big coincidence.

  Michaela Stone : No, it's a smokescreen, and you're falling for it. Jared Vasquez is an Xer.

  Officer Dibacco : Michaela.

  Investigator Blanpied : You and your family had to know that sooner or later it was going to catch up with you.

  Michaela Stone : You can't honestly think that my family had anything to do with this!

  Investigator Fong : We'll know when we get their statements.
