Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
All right, then, um, so I should talk to her.

Captain Sharon Raydor:
Um, before you do, I'm trying to avoid creating problems, and if I'm... if I'm overreacting to what I saw, and if I'm wrong about this...

Assistant Chief Will Pope:
But if you're right, then this is an assault on one of our employees, which cannot to be ignored, and which Captain Raydor should not investigate on her own; so, I would like Major Crimes to discretely examine the life of Detective Moore and report back to me.

Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
I-I-I can't start a criminal investigation unless she files a complaint of some kind.

Captain Sharon Raydor:
I was hoping, Chief, that maybe you would be able to see past the obstacles in this particular situation.

Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
The obstacles that you're talkin' about are the justice system and I can't create charges out of thin air. I need an evidence.

Captain Sharon Raydor:
Of course, you do, but you can easily do an oblique interview with that husband.

Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
Uh, I'm sorry, who-who's in charge of this investigation?

Assistant Chief Will Pope:
You are. Captain Raydor, I promise you that Chief Johnson will pursue this inquiry vigorously, but let's leave to her the when and where she will approach the husband.

Assistant Chief Will Pope:
[to Johnson] In the meantime, we will tread VERY LIGHTLY here. Is that clear?

Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
Of course. Um, if we're going to do this by the book, I should start by getting a statement from Detective Moore's immediate superior officer.

Captain Sharon Raydor:
I figured you'd ask that so I prepared one.
