Homicide: Life on the Street1993

Det. Tim Bayliss:
I think this case is a slam dunk.

Det. Frank Pembleton:
A case being writ in black even as we speak.

Det. Tim Bayliss:
Well, I'd be wrong.

Det. Frank Pembleton:
No, you'd be right! We got the shooter, we got his gun, we got beaucoup eyewitnesses, and the man's giving it up.

Det. Tim Bayliss:
[Whispering to the camera in the back seat] We need the "why".

Det. Frank Pembleton:
No, you need the "why",I don't need to know the man, or any more about his problems than this: He shot his neighbors and then waited on his swing for the police to arrive so that he might surrender his freedom. Mr. Jackson has been so helpful and so efficient that to ask for more would be ungracious.
