Det. Mac Taylor : Adam, you do know this is a smoke-free facility?
Adam Ross : I wouldn't dare to break the rules, boss.

Adam Ross : How much do you think a carton of cigarettes goes for in the city?
Det. Mac Taylor : Last I heard, about $130.
Adam Ross : Not cheap, so if you ain't got the cash, you got to find a cheaper alternative. What do I got here?
Det. Mac Taylor : Two packs of cigarettes.
Adam Ross : Mm-hmm. Now, when the fire department was putting out the delivery truck, the majority of the cargo got wet, and I noticed something. This is from a pack I bought downstairs. Nothing. This is a cigarette from the van.
Det. Mac Taylor : Three black lines. Cheap glue. Zorlov was delivering counterfeit cigarettes.
Adam Ross : Exactly.
Det. Mac Taylor : One of the most lucrative rackets in New York. More profitable than selling heroin or cocaine. You make fake cigarettes for sixty bucks a carton, you sell them to a local shop for $90, they turn around and sell them for $110.
Adam Ross : Impressive profit. Product's in high demand, you can sell it in the wide open, and no one's the wiser.
Det. Mac Taylor : Which is why the local shop owners like Byrne are so important. They sell the fakes. Without them, there's no racket.
