Major Crimes

Major Crimes

Major Crimes is an American television police procedural series starring Mary McDonnell. It is a continuation spin-off of The Closer, set in the same police division. It premiered on TNT August 13, 2012, following The Closer's finale. In January 2017, during Major Crimes's fifth season, TNT renewed the series for a 13-episode sixth season. On October 3, the network announced the sixth season would be its last. Series star McDonnell commented on Instagram, "as many of you have stated, this was not a surprise. The writing was clearly on the wall. Trying to make sense of TNT's choices is an activity that James Duff and Mike Robin and all of us have been engaged in for a long time." The final season premiered on October 31, 2017, and ended on January 9, 2018, wrapping the series with 105 episodes.

Julio Sanchez:
Oh, hey, Sykes, I forgot. Cooper stopped by earlier and said he was going to be late to dinner.

Amy Sykes:
I'm not going to dinner with Cooper.

Andy Flynn:
I'm surprised you guys ever came back from surveillance.

Buzz Watson:
You're dating Cooper?

Rusty Beck:
People don't know that yet?

Amy Sykes:
There is nothing to know.

Mike Tao:
Oh, let the girl be happy.

Louie Provenza:
Or, as happy as anyone can be in a relationship. Good night, everybody. I hope to see none of you before morning.

Rusty Beck:
Oh, actually, could you wait just a second? I wanted to ask all of you a question... Would it bother any of you, or... Would any of you think differently about me if I... If I said... If I said I was gay?

Mike Tao:
Oh, you're gay?

Buzz Watson:
We did not know that.

Andy Flynn:
I think after we get past the initial shock...

Julio Sanchez:
Ha.

Louie Provenza:
Julio, this is serious. The answer is, if you told us you were gay, we'd think that you trusted us more. And then we would trust you more. Did you hear that, Sykes?

Amy Sykes:
Oh, my God. I'm dating Lieutenant Cooper. There, are you happy?

Andy Flynn:
I knew it!

Mike Tao:
Ha-ha-ha. Pay up, Buzz.

Buzz Watson:
Give me a second.

Louie Provenza:
Sykes, you do know that you have to inform the captain?

Amy Sykes:
I did. Which is how you knew.

Rusty Beck:
No, no, no. I knew because I saw the two of you outside of SOB. I was heading in for therapy with Dr. Joe, and you were dropping Lieutenant Cooper off... out front.

Amy Sykes:
You didn't say anything.

Rusty Beck:
Well, you guys were making out. What was I supposed to say? [all laughing]

Sharon Raydor:
I'm very busy, Jack, so let me get right to the point. I'm thinking about adoption. And since we're married, that decision involves you.

Jackson Raydor:
Adoption?

Sharon Raydor:
Mm-hmm.

Jackson Raydor:
Of Rusty? I thought he turned 18.

Sharon Raydor:
Well, he's getting older, yes. And he's planning on going to collage, looking for a job...

Jackson Raydor:
Congratulations, that is great, and eventually, he'll be moving out, huh?

Sharon Raydor:
But he needs a family legally. I want him to have backup that he can count on.

Jackson Raydor:
You don't have to do that exactly by the book. Look, Sharon, I like Rusty, I do but... we already have a family.

Sharon Raydor:
We share children, Jack. It's not the same thing.

Jackson Raydor:
Well, this impacts me too. I'm not made of money, you know? So if you wanna adopt a kid... I should be compensated for all the bullshit I will have to go through.

Sharon Raydor:
I knew that you would say something like that... so I talked to my lawyer, and I'm giving you two options.

Jackson Raydor:
Well, these are divorce papers.

Sharon Raydor:
And these would formalize an adoption. [pause] I'm not paying you a single dime, Jack. Just sign one document or the other.

Jackson Raydor:
Ahem. Have you talked to our real children about this?

Sharon Raydor:
No. And I haven't asked Rusty yet either. I'm doing things in a particular way, and you are first on my list.

Jackson Raydor:
You know, if you were gonna divorce me, you would have done this years ago.

Sharon Raydor:
Jack, the era during which it was professionally useful for me to have a wedding ring on my finger is long gone.

Jackson Raydor:
Hmm. In a divorce, I would be entitled to half your savings and half your pension. Given any thought to that?

Sharon Raydor:
So you're ready to pay all the back child support you owe me for the family you deserted?

Jackson Raydor:
We were never divorced. Why do you think that I owe you?

Sharon Raydor:
Would you like to experience firsthand what the court thinks of child abandonment? Go for it.

Jackson Raydor:
Thanks for the heads-up, Sharon. I'll be in touch.

Sharon Raydor:
I certainly hope so. Otherwise you'll be hearing it from my lawyer.

Sharon Beck:
I guess the one good thing is I don't have much to put in it... Oh, oh, do you have my prescription? I'll just... toss it here with my clothes.

Rusty Beck:
I couldn't fill your prescription.

Sharon Beck:
What? [pause] Why?

Rusty Beck:
Because it's a forgery, Mom. It wasn't given to you here.

Sharon Beck:
A forgery? It's not a forgery. Look...

Rusty Beck:
No one at this rehab would give you this drug. And you involved me in a crime trying to get me to fill it.

Sharon Beck:
A crime? Oh, my God. I don't know what you're talking about. Do I seem high to you right now, Rusty?... Listen. I apologized to you, okay? And I meant every word of it. And I've tried very hard to keep from making things worse of you. But as you said the other day, you were not the easiest kid. And knowing what you were... Hm? Even when you were little, I knew what you were and that has never been easy for me... facing that...

Rusty Beck:
Facing what?

Sharon Beck:
Oh, are you pretending that you're not gay? Because I know that you are. And, pssh, I can overlook it, you know. But can't you just overlook some of my problems? At least I'm trying to be normal. I don't get that hit off of you.

Rusty Beck:
Are you saying that you let your boyfriend beat me up, and you dumped me off at the zoo and drove away and got high for three years because you knew I was gay?

Sharon Beck:
Gary wouldn't let me come back and get you. They put you in a foster home.

Rusty Beck:
Where I was knocked around, Mom.

Sharon Beck:
You chose to go on the street, do those things... for money, with guys.

Rusty Beck:
And where do you think I learned how to do that, Mom?

Sharon Beck:
Oh. [sighs] I'm not blaming you, Rusty, okay? And I'm assuming you did the best you could. And that you can't help yourself.

Rusty Beck:
I think I should go.

Sharon Beck:
What? No! Come on! Can you just show me some of the forgiveness that I am showing you?

Jackson Raydor:
I want to see that video of Javier's interrogation before I leave here. I won't let you trample that man's civil rights in order for you to get what you need.

Lt. Louie Provenza:
Sit. Wait. We'll get back to you after we've burned the Constitution. Like you really care.

Captain Sharon Raydor:
No questions.

Detective Julio Sanchez:
Right. Javier, we're not allowed to interview you, but there're two things that you should know. First, we're about to search your neighborhood for all the places that you could have buried Melissa Orr, paying special attention to your former addresses and the homes of family members. And secondly, whatever your relationship with Browning used to be, he doesn't like you anymore. It's gonna take days for the courts to find someone to defend you, since this is a death penalty case.

Javier 'Speedy' Reyes:
Death? But can you help me?

Captain Sharon Raydor:
Not if you invoke your rights.

Javier 'Speedy' Reyes:
But what if I gave up my rights?

Detective Julio Sanchez:
Well, if you cooperate now, the DA has already agreed to give you a deal for second-degree murder. 17-to-life. So you have a parole date.

Captain Sharon Raydor:
Of course, if you didn't kill Melissa, then, you're okay.

Detective Julio Sanchez:
And maybe you don't care about doing what's right. Well, maybe your relationship with Christ was like a joke that you played to get out of prison.

Javier 'Speedy' Reyes:
It's not a joke. Christ is the only thing that matters in my life. The Bible says it. Look it up.

Phillip Stroh:
Rusty Beck. Please take a seat.

Rusty Beck:
I'm fine here, thanks. What do you wanna know?

Phillip Stroh:
Just the basics. For example, if we end up in court... do you intend to repeat your pretrial testimony against me?

Rusty Beck:
Yeah. Every word.

Phillip Stroh:
Even knowing your statement could help the state execute me?

Rusty Beck:
No one gets executed in California anymore. Actually, in the last 10 years, you've killed more people than the state has. And you tried to kill me.

Phillip Stroh:
Well, it was never personal, Rusty. I mean, who wants to leave witnesses behind? You're living proof of how dangerous that can be, right? [Rusty steps back as Stroh moves his body forward] Relax, okay? I am incapable of reaching you from here. So, moving on, I understand Emma Rios has asked you for an Impact Statement.

Rusty Beck:
Yeah, what about it?

Phillip Stroh:
I was just wondering if in addition to the dustups we've had, you might wanna include some of the positive effects I've had on your life.

Rusty Beck:
Positive effects?

Phillip Stroh:
By becoming a material witness for the state, you were taken off the streets, and out of a life of prostitution, an incredibly unsafe profession. You gained a mother, got a high school degree. You think anybody here would have given a sh*t about you if not for me?

Rusty Beck:
Okay, and what about the interest Wade Weller took in me?

Phillip Stroh:
Who?

Rusty Beck:
Oh, don't act like you don't know his name. Wade Weller. The freak who you had write me threatening letters and who you ordered to kill me, okay? That Wade Weller. You think I should change my Impact Statement because you changed my life? Well, get this from me, okay? If anyone in this room changed someone's else life, I changed yours, okay? I changed yours.

Phillip Stroh:
Oh, and I never forget it, Rusty. But to be completely fair, to be completely honest, we changed each other's lives. As we were fated to do. And we will have the power to change each other again.

Rusty Beck:
Change each other how?

Phillip Stroh:
I don't know. I can't see that far ahead. But our lives have been intertwined. Yours and mine. A pattern has begun to emerge, wouldn't you say? And that pattern is destiny. And when you finally see destiny, Rusty, in all her glory, destiny is like an arrow... pointing toward the end.

Rusty Beck:
What end? The end of what?

Phillip Stroh:
Heaven knows... I'm satisfied with the witness.

Rusty Beck:
Wait, wait, wait. What end? What are you talking about?

Phillip Stroh:
I'm satisfied with the witness. Get me the written parts of my deal to Judge Schaeffer, I'll give you the name of the killer. [Rusty rushes out]

Sharon Raydor:
May I ask, have you, by any chance, been talking with your father about this?

Ricky Raydor:
Yeah, we talked a few times. I mean, he's worried about you. Mom, I'm worried about you, I am. Look, helping the kid a little bit, that's great, but to make him legally your son... I just... I think we need to take a giant step back here and just reeva...

Sharon Raydor:
Hold on, hold on. Before we go back, I should clear up a big misunderstanding that you have.

Ricky Raydor:
Okay.

Sharon Raydor:
I'm not asking your permission to adopt Rusty. Or Emily's permission. I see great things in this boy and I mean that from the bottom of my ever-so-lonely heart.

Ricky Raydor:
Come on, Mom, you know that I did not mean loneliness as a criticism. I was only pointing out the fact...

Sharon Raydor:
It's clear what you're pointing out. Now I'm pointing out to you... if you don't develop a little human compassion for this young man who grew up with none of the advantages you took for granted every day of your life, then I'm gonna leave here wondering where I went wrong... as a mother.

Ricky Raydor:
Mom. Mom, wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on. Look, I'm... I'm gonna have children one day. So is Emily. Do you really want your grandkids calling that boy Uncle Rusty?

Sharon Raydor:
That is a whole lot better than what I'm thinking of calling you now.

Ricky Raydor:
Mom.

Sharon Raydor:
Richard William Raydor, you listen to me and you listen to me good. You've got one chance to get this right. You need to turn your attitude around... right this minute. Because if you make Rusty feel unwelcome in this family after all of his and my hard work, I will be just so... disappointed. Oh, my God. I am so disappointed in you right now, I don't even know what to say. [leaves the room]

Judge Craig Richwood:
Mr. Gray, what do you and your clients have to say?

Larry Murdock:
...Oh. Larry Murdoch. Excuse me, your honor. I'm a retired teamster, and I, uh, I cut the brake lines on the bastard's car. Just a little backup plan. No harm done.

Pauline Allen:
I'm Pauline Allen, and I would like to confess that I greased the very top step on which Ed untimely slipped. And I helped with the brownies.

Clayton Carter:
Me, too. Clayton Carter. I shopped for the almond milk and the peanut oil. And putting the Frangelica in the icing was entirely my idea. A flourish.

Vera Walker:
Vera Walker. I made the brownies, and I put them out by the nachos for our weekly taco night. And no one else was hurt by them at all. And I have two more batches in the freezer. So, if you'd like to try one yourself... No?... Okay.

Howard Gray:
I'm Howard Gray, and, uh... [clears throat] Ed helped himself to our buffet without asking and walked off with two brownies. We waited while he went upstairs to eat, and then after he choked to death on his own rudeness and his cries for help kind of petered out, I propped him up in one of those kitchen chairs and turned on the gas and called 911. And we're very sorry, your honor, and we promise never to let someone kill themselves again.

Judge Craig Richwood:
I see. Well, taking into account the 378 collective years the five of you have spent on the planet with no priors and the fact that not a single one of you can actually be charged with murder, I accept the plea of manslaughter and agree in principle to two years of house arrest for each of the five defendants, followed by nine years of probation.

Gloria Lim:
Doesn't Linda Lanier have a cell phone? Why don't we just call her and ask her where she is and the name of her fianc?.

Mike Tao:
Her phone is off the grid.

Gloria Lim:
Are you treating the mother as a suspect? Because we were told you were checking out sex offenders...

Sharon Raydor:
I take exception to the way we're being interrupted here.

Russell Taylor:
Gloria...

Ann McGinnis:
Allow me, Captain, Chief. I deal with all the city-attorney bullshit on a daily basis now. Gloria, is it? Listen. There was no forced entry at our victims' house. Both were shot in the head at close range. And though we can't rule out sex offenders, it sill means the Laniers were likely murdered by someone they knew. And if it was not an execution, it was probably a domestic dispute, making the mother and her fianc? suspects. And when children get abducted the L.A.P.D. is not legally required to notify parents.

Gloria Lim:
The law may not demand it, but it's still actionable. And mothers do not need to abduct their own kids which, if you had children yourself, you'd understand.

Ann McGinnis:
I'm sorry, what did you just say?

Gloria Lim:
That the reason you're against contacting Linda Lanier is that you don't have children yourself.

Sharon Raydor:
Anymore.

Gloria Lim:
What?

Sharon Raydor:
Commander McGinnis doesn't have children anymore.

Gloria Lim:
Um, I don't understand.

Russell Taylor:
The commander's daughter and husband were killed in a car accident four years ago.

Gloria Lim:
I, um, I thought, I was told [pause] I'm so sorry.

Jamey Perez:
Because only two things that can be done in a situation like this.

Sharon Raydor:
A hostage negotiation or a rescue.

Gloria Lim:
Hostage negotiation, with SWAT.

Ann McGinnis:
Is that based on your vast professional experience? Because I think this is definitely a rescue operation.

Russell Taylor:
While we're evacuating building, why don't we run those options by a behavioral science professional?

Dr. Joe Bowman:
Oh. [pause] I, I came to help the children afterward. If you're gonna profile an adult, maybe someone else...

Jamey Perez:
That's okay, Dr. Joe. Just listen to the two options and then give Miss Lim here your best bet as to which one we should pursue. Commander?

Ann McGinnis:
Do we try and negotiate with this murderer or do we rescue the hostages by taking him by surprise?

Dr. Joe Bowman:
Well, clinically, that's an impossible question to answer. But the suspect had several years in prison to plan what he'd do after release, so we have to believe that murdering his parents and kidnapping children are like parts of that plan. Also, he found someone willing to help him which suggests he's persuasive, organized and determined. And so far, he seems to have done everything he wanted to do... so I'm worried by the absence of an exit strategy.

Ann McGinnis:
That's okay, doctor. As it turns out, I am a specialist in exit strategies.

Louie Provenza:
I say get your snipers ready, commander.

Gloria Lim:
Snipers? Snipers endanger the children's lives.

Sharon Raydor:
We will only be firing non-lethal Arwen rounds through the window to distract him.

Gloria Lim:
Firing them from where? The top floor of your suspect's building is the highest point available.

Ann McGinnis:
No, it isn't.

[last lines]

Sharon Raydor:
I talked with the district attorney involved, and I've arranged a plea agreement for you.

Sharon Beck:
Thank God. Am I going back to rehab?

Sharon Raydor:
No, no. I'm afraid that ship has sailed. However, in exchange for overlooking your probation violation, we have arranged for you to serve the full year of your shoplifting charge here at county. Or more precisely, 364 days, every one of which you will have to be sober.

Sharon Beck:
That's not a deal.

Sharon Raydor:
Oh, it is... If you don't remain sober, or if you violate the statutes of prisoner conduct, I'll personally see to it that the six-year tail on your sentence is carried out to the letter in an upstate prison.

Sharon Beck:
Are you kidding me? Because I don't deserve this kind of treatment at all.

Sharon Raydor:
Oh, I agree. Unfortunately, anything more I could do to you would require a trial. But I will make sure that you are drug tested on a random basis. I will have your cell searched regularly.

Sharon Beck:
Anything else?

Sharon Raydor:
I will have confidential informants report to me on your behavior. And this I promise you, one slip, one tiny step off the straight and narrow, to the left or the right, and you will automatically add six years to your sentence.

Sharon Beck:
Wha...? Why are...? You are mad at me for some reason. I get it. I don't know why.

Sharon Raydor:
That's the problem.

Sharon Beck:
[pause] What about for Rusty's sake? You know, what about for the sake of my little boy?

Sharon Raydor:
This is for Rusty's sake, it is.

Sharon Beck:
You think you know me? Is that it? And you think you know my son? And you think you can just have me boxed up and out of the way? Lady, let me tell you something. You just made a really big mistake.

Sharon Raydor:
I made a mistake?

Sharon Beck:
Yes, you did.

Sharon Raydor:
Oh, dear. Allow me to point out you're the one wearing the blue jumpsuit surrounded by guards. And I'm getting up to go home.

Sharon Beck:
Okay. No. But... [yells]
