Episode Quotes

Brenda: (to suspect) It was no accident that you picked out Wayne Mather's name off of the sex offender registry, causing him to commit suicide because he couldn't stand the thought of being wrongly accused one more time. It was no accident that you put Maria's body into the trunk of your car, and it was no accident that she ended up in the L.A. River.

Suspect: You can go now!
Brenda: Oh, yes. I get to go, and you get to stay.
