The Shield, Season Four

Rawling:
I also looked into the crime stats. The numbers are up because you manipulated yours to make things look better. I'm getting punished because I reported mine accurately.

Aceveda:
Sounds to me like now's a good time to start formulating an exit strategy for the seizure policy.

Rawling:
The only person who can take me off this is the Chief and not without one hell of a fight from me.

Aceveda':
Well then, I'd start training. I just spoke to him. He's still blue in the face from having to explain to the ACLU lawyers why you put a cop like Vic, in charge of such a controversial program.

Rawling:
That's what all this is about, Mackey?

Aceveda':
Starting tonight, Vic is the face of that church invasion. Pulling him off the street might buy you some slack.

Rawling:
He's working. I stand by my choice.

Aceveda':
You just won't take help, will you?

Rawling:
Help from you? Sure. Orders? No.

Aceveda':
If Mackey's off the table, I'm going to have to set my sights on the policy in general.
