Mary McDonnell: Sharon Raydor

Quotes 

• D.D.A. Emma Rios : Javier's attorney says he was having breakfast with you this morning and to keep things professional. I hate to ask this, but are you sleeping with this man?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Of course not. He's my husband. I mean, uh, well, he's not living with me right now. Well, he's staying with me on the couch till he finds to live. Why?

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : The defendant's lawyer is your husband. The material witness in another murder is your so-called son. Is the judge gonna be your brother?

• Jackson Raydor : So what you're telling me is he needs a court-appointed attorney.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Yes. And the earliest I can get one is tomorrow unless I take you by a judge this morning...

  Jackson Raydor : Ah! I'm in. I'm in.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : You don't even know the details yet.

  Jackson Raydor : Yeah, but from the sounds of things, you don't either. Uh, I can get all the essential information from my client. I need to change now. And I need to grab my suit that's hanging up in Rusty's closet. I got to go. Got to select a tie. Oh, and thanks, Sharon. I appreciate it. I really do.

• Jackson Raydor : You don't even have this missing girl's body yet.

  [others look at each other] 

  Jackson Raydor : What?

  Captain Sharon Raydor : How do you know we don't have her body yet? Did Javier tell you that, Jack?

  Jackson Raydor : I know it because you haven't arrested Javier for murder, and that would be pretty hard to do, seeing as how you would have to provide the victim's body and the cause of death.

• Jackson Raydor : Where are you going, Sharon? Why is everyone leaving? Hey! Hey! Sharon! You cannot question my client without my permission. If you think I'm gonna let you run roughshod over the law because of our relationship, you're in for a big surprise.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : You are the one who takes this relationship for granted, Jack. As you're about to see.

• Captain Sharon Raydor : Excuse me, Javier. Sorry to keep you waiting.

  Jackson Raydor : Javier, don't answer her questions. You cannot interrogate my client without violating his Miranda rights!

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Detective, if Jack interrupts me again, would you please have him removed?

  Jackson Raydor : What?

  Detective Julio Sanchez : Javier, you cannot say anything because the charges against you have changed. We're no longer holding you for parole violations. We're arresting you as a suspect in the murder of Melissa Orr.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : To avoid ethical conflicts, you need to know that I'm the officer in charge of this investigation, and your attorney is my husband, and I would think very seriously about having an attorney who's related by marriage...

  Jackson Raydor : What? Sharon.

  Javier 'Speedy' Reyes : You're fired! I mean it! You're fired! Get out!

  Jackson Raydor : Javier, you are making a big mistake.

  Javier 'Speedy' Reyes : I trusted you.

  Jackson Raydor : I... You can trust me. I have your best interest at heart!

  Javier 'Speedy' Reyes : Just leave! Get out, man. You're fired! Leave!

  Jackson Raydor : Please.

  Javier 'Speedy' Reyes : Leave me alone.

  Jackson Raydor : You...

  Javier 'Speedy' Reyes : Get out!

  Jackson Raydor : Please.

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : Now he has no attorney at all. How do we talk to him?

  Lt. Mike Tao : Give us a moment. There's a ritual involved with suspects like this, and we need to follow it.

• 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 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... Well, c-can't 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, but 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.

• D.D.A. Emma Rios : If you're so much closer in your walk with God, why did you tell the detectives who arrested you this morning that you were on Orchard Street looking for doughnuts?

  Jackson Raydor : Uh, uh, don't answer that question. That question is not on the list you gave me.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : You're telling us that we can't ask a question about doughnuts.

  Jackson Raydor : Yes, I'm telling you that.

  Captain Sharon Raydor : Oh, all right, Jack, but Javier can't use his faith to avoid answering our questions.

  Jackson Raydor : Ah, ah, ah. There are no questions about faith on the list you gave me. Let's, um, try to keep it professional here, okay?
