Backfire (2013)

Raymond Cruz: Julio Sanchez

Quotes 

• Lt. Andy Flynn : Okay, so tell me, if your tracking device was so damn fantastic, how did you not know what was happening to this girl, huh?

  Scott Shaw : I think Briana was drugged before she got into the car. Her heart rate and respiration slowed. We thought she had just fallen asleep on the way to an appointment. She did that sometimes. Then, abruptly, there was a spike in her pulse and blood pressure, probably as she struggled. And...

  Detective Julio Sanchez : And what?

  Scott Shaw : Her vital signs went off-line. Look, give me Jason Goss and I promise you, I'll make sure he pays for what he did here. I promise.

  Detective Julio Sanchez : Just like you promised Briana?

• Judge Grove : The deal which Mr. Goss agreed to, includes revealing those targeted for murder, along with the workings of the larger criminal enterprise?

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : Yes, it does.

  Judge Grove : Mr. Goss, given the issue of public safety, I will accept this plea. You are hereby remanded into state custody. Uh, now, DDA Rios, will I be seeing the driver of the car, this Cory Stark, in my courtroom as well?

  Lt. Mike Tao : No, Your Honor, we regret to inform the court that Cory Stark was shot to death before we could take him into custody.

  Jason Goss : Wait, what?

  Detective Julio Sanchez : Mr. Stark was murdered yesterday afternoon. The FBI is holding several suspects. As part of their ongoing investigation, we've agreed to let them sort it out.

  Jason Goss : You people lied to me.

  Peter Page : All right. Take it easy.

  Jason Goss : What do you mean take it...? You lied to me!

• Judge Grove : It's nice to confirm that I was right and manslaughter was not the proper plea.

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : I disagree, Your Honor. Because you held up our original deal, a man lost his life.

  Judge Grove : You're referring to this Cory Stark guy, who drove the car from which his own girlfriend was pushed? Hold on, I'll get you a hanky.

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : Your Honor, may I speak frankly? Off the record?

  Judge Grove : Knock yourself out.

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : As far as I'm concerned, the failure to give Mr. Goss a deal led directly to the execution of another person, and that is not how the justice system is supposed to work.

  Judge Grove : It is in my courtroom. And anyway, we're adjourned.

  Detective Julio Sanchez : [as DDA Rios sighs]  Let's go. Buy you a cup of coffee.

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : Oh, does this mean you're not mad at me anymore?

  Detective Julio Sanchez : No. Means gonna buy you some coffee. Come on.
