Paul Benson: The woman who went to the hospital... she survived? She's gonna be okay?
Mac: No. She lost her husband, her son lost his father and she's gonna have permanent brain damage. So, no, she's not gonna be okay. You had an opportunity to get out and make something of your life, Paul. Instead, you destroyed another family.

Flack: Torres was the leader of El Puño so this was likely a hit by a rival gang.
Mac: That means El Puño's gonna want blood.
Jo: From what I've heard, these aren't two-bit, three-block dope dealers.
Mac: Far from it. They control East Harlem.
Flack: Drug trafficking, extortion, murder for hire, name it. El Puño's a one-stop shop for all bad things.
Jo: Whoever killed Torres is gonna have a mark on their head.
Mac: Well, we got to find them before the streets do, or it's going to be war.

Jo: Torres' death leaves a void at the top of his crew, so I thought I'd look at his replacements might be able to avoid a street war if we can talk to them. So I'm gathering this as I go. Seems, Torres was the face of this crew, but Lisa Brigosa... she's the brains and Rick Devarro is the street muscle. Although, given his penchant for getting arrested, Rick's not too bright.
Mac: There's one other. Luther Devarro.
Jo: Any relation to Rick?
Mac: His older brother. Founder of El Puño, but more of an advisor at this stage of his career. I helped put him away 15 years ago. He was released last week.
Jo: Gasoline on the fire.
Mac: It's one thing to be a street guy, another to be smart. But it's dangerous when both those qualities are embodied in one person.

Luther Devarro: Next generation. Teach them a little respect.
Mac: You've been away for a while. Things have changed.
Luther Devarro: Question is: for better or worse? In our time, it wasn't about guns. It was the knuckle game, remember? I had snap in my shoulder. I hit you, you were hurting.
Mac: What I remember is you beating a rival gang member to a pulp. That's what put you away.
Luther Devarro: Defending the neighborhood. This place has always welcomed me with open arms.
Mac: So did El Puño. What you started only got stronger when you went away.
Luther Devarro: Yeah, no thanks to you. Every couple of months, I'd find one of my men in the mess hall.
Mac: Didn't want you to get lonely.

Mac [to Luther Devarro]: I want to know if I'm gonna have a problem with your crew.
Luther Devarro: This your way of paying condolences? Last time I checked, it was one of my men who had holes burned into him.
Mac: And killing more people is going to make it right?
Luther Devarro: What's the alternative, turn it over to the NYPD? Cops like to see us as defendants or, better yet, deceased.
Mac: Doesn't have to be that way.
Luther Devarro: I didn't make the rules.

Mac [to Luther Devarro]: You want to teach the next generation? You tell them revenge lands them in prison or a grave. You're a man of intelligence. Reason with them.
Luther Devarro: Men can reason all they want. Machines got minds of their own.

Adam [to Hawkes]: Hey, what do you know about Fishzilla?
Hawkes: Sounds like a bad name for a monster movie.
Adam: Close... it's the nickname of that weird little thing I found at the bottom of the mezcal bottle. Yeah, its real name is snakehead fish, all right, and it's illegal in all 50 States.
Hawkes: Then it couldn't have been that easy to get. How did it end up at our crime scene?
Adam: Uh, I don't know, maybe it was left as a message. You know, these things are pretty vicious. They eat everything, even their own kind.
Hawkes: The message could be in the name. Snakehead... reference to the Mambas?
Adam: I'm trying to track down where you can buy these things and then maybe I can figure out who purchased it.
Hawkes: How are you going to track it down if it's illegal and off the books?
Adam: I... I know a guy that knows a guy that... knows a guy that knows another guy.

Mac: (to Luther Devarro) A handshake used to mean something. An officer was shot today, and a civilian wounded. The ammo we found had your crew's signature on it. When a guy like you gets released from prison a week before people start getting shot, I don't believe it's coincidence.
TV Show: CSI - NY
Hawkes: Two shootings. Same signature.
Flack: One gang, El Puño.
Jo: So Torres' murder wasn't a rival hit by the Mambas; it was an inside job.
Hawkes: So, just like a snakehead, someone in El Puño's eating their own.
Mac: I want to talk to each one of their power players. Lisa Brigosa, the Devarro brothers, Rick and Luther and Fernando Flores. Each one of them is either a potential suspect, or a potential victim.

Hawkes: He get a name?

Mac: You're a man of reason, Luther. Come out, give yourself up.
Luther Devarro: It's too late for me, Detective. I never intended to create something violent. It was never about drugs and guns, money and power. When they put me away, all that changed. Torres, Lisa and my brother! Took what I created, just a group of guys trying to watch each other's back, taking care of their neighbourhood and they turned it into some criminal enterprise.

Luther Devarro: I never intended to save the world but somebody had to be held accountable. Those that made the same promise I did. Promise to protect the neighbourhood, not to eat it alive. To defend it, not to become the worst threat it had ever known.
Mac: Now you've caused even more bloodshed. Killing people won't solve it. We're fighting the same fight. Why didn't you come to me? We could have taken them down together.
Luther Devarro: Because old habits die hard, and we're different kind of people. I gain closure here, Detective, in the spirit of what I created. I have no other choice. It all ends here. Tonight.
