The Shield, Season Four

Dutch:
I'm busy. And stop treating me like a suspect.

Claudette:
You had a chat with Beth Encardi? If we carried the Webster case, maybe they'd let us out of the doghouse? Something along those lines.

Dutch:
Fine. I confess. At least now we're getting confessions from other people too. Real criminals, killers.

Claudette:
What are the errands that you have us running for the DA?

Dutch:
Nothing. One of us needed to manifest this.

Claudette:
You went behind my back?

Dutch:
After being ignored head on for six months, you bet I did!

Claudette:
But, it wasn't your deal to make.

Dutch:
You're the best partner I ever had, I hung in with you, waiting for you to see this through, instead you just dug yourself in further. I wasn't going to sit on my hands, and watch you wreck your career and mine along with it. I got dinged pretty good in this too you know-

Claudette:
But this was my fight.

Dutch:
And you lost. So I threw in the towel with the DA and I'd do it again. And if you wanna be pissed at me, fine. Go ahead!
