Quotes[]
| “ | I think at some point this trailer overheated, and the people inside, the cargo, were literally cooked. | ” |
–CSU tech Lowden | ||
- Fontana: So you're telling us that you knew absolutely nothing about Stack hauling illegals?
- Ken: I knew something was going down with his hauls.
- Green: Who maintains the rigs?
- Ken: I do.
- Green: So when you were cleaning out blood, hair, loose fingernails from people who tried to claw their way out of a boiling hot trailer box, you classify that as "something going down"?
| “ | Dorn didn't want Clayton Stack killed to prevent illegal immigration but to keep himself out of jail. | ” |
–Jack McCoy | ||
- Prentiss: You're not terrified to see more buildings fall? More planes crash? I am. Terry is. He's gonna see it stops.
- Borgia: By murdering innocent illegals?
- Prentiss: You know they were innocent? I don't...and for my money, they shouldn't have been on that truck in the first place.
- Terry Dorn: What kind of country locks up its patriots?
- Ed Green: The same kind that gives you the right to remain silent. Exercise it.
