Robert Pine: Captain Wentworth

Quotes 

• Abel Turner : [sitting in his Captain's office]  What's going on, Captain?

  Lt. Morgada : Damon Richards. You know him?

  Abel Turner : And you are?

  Captain Wentworth : Uh, this is, uh... Bronson and Morgada. They're, uh...

  Abel Turner : Internal Affairs.

  Captain Wentworth : Yeah. It's just a procedural thing, Abel.

  Lt. Morgada : So, what about Richards?

  Abel Turner : We arrested him last week. He took two shots at me and my partner.

  Captain Wentworth : He's bringing a suit against the department.

  Lt. Morgada : Brutality charges, violation of civil rights, as well as a personal complaint against you.

  Lt. Bronson : [reading from a report]  "Officer Turner used excessive force, made threats against..."

  Abel Turner : I gave that asshole a pass, Cap. He took two shots at us.

  Lt. Morgada : You were verbally abusive and you left him with three broken ribs.

  Lt. Bronson : Not to mention shoving a gun in his face.

  Abel Turner : That is not accurate. I talked to him. I tried to educate the individual. I never struck him. If he was injured, that happened when he was out of our custody.

  Captain Wentworth : Look. This is all bullshit, Abel. But,

  [sighs] 

  Captain Wentworth : this is what we have to deal with now, right? So, uh, finish your tour today, then take some time off in lieu of disciplinary action. All right?

  [gets up from his chair] 

  Abel Turner : How much time?

  Lt. Morgada : Until we tell you otherwise. 'Cause, you know, frankly, over the last few years, you have a number of question marks on your record, so, I wouldn't push it.

  Lt. Bronson : You should be thinking retirement. It's about that time.

  Abel Turner : [scoffs]  28 years. 28 years and this is what I get?

  Lt. Morgada : What do you think you deserve?

  [Abel looks at her, but doesn't say anything]
