Mary McDonnell: Sharon Raydor

Quotes 

• Andy Flynn : Remember, Stroh isn't just a serial killer. He's a great attorney, and he's leveraged other criminals to help him out before.

  Russell Taylor : Well, good news is, if you're right, we're getting closer to finding this guy.

  Sharon Raydor : Or he's getting closer to us.

• Sharon Raydor : This is not a negotiation, Lieutenant Cooper. I want to hear what's going on; otherwise, this undercover operation will be suspended and we will go back to a much more visible security detail.

  Lt. Chuck Cooper : You do that and the killer will definitely notice. We're real close to catching him.

  Sharon Raydor : We're too close, Lieutenant, too close. This young man is not just bait. He is... He is my responsibility.

• Mike Tao : It's called an authorship attribution program. You can download it for free on the internet, but before I explain what it is...

  Mike Tao : [to Provenza]  ... let me assure you that this is the short version.

  Louie Provenza : Oh, boy.

  Mike Tao : Basically, the program compares texts. It ranks words by their usage, particularly articles like "the" and prepositions like "or" and "to" - words that might seem inconsequential but, in fact, leave an authorial fingerprint on most any work; so, by taking a sampling of legal motions written by Stroh and comparing them to motions authored by Reyes...

  Sharon Raydor : You can prove Stroh wrote them.

  Mike Tao : According to the program, it's a 96% probability.

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : Unfortunately, this will not be considered evidence in court.

  Sharon Raydor : We don't need it to be.

• Andy Flynn : The new victim. He's not connected to Stroh. He's connected to you.

  Sharon Raydor : What?

  Andy Flynn : He lives in your building.

• Sharon Raydor : Are you okay?

  Rusty Beck : Just a little shaky, but, um, never happier to have so many police officers around me.
