% Jim: Captain James Ellison. O.D.A. 731. You my relief? Mathis: Your relief? Jim: We were ordered to contact the local tribes and organize a militia. These men and I have held the Chopec Pass for 18 months. And quite frankly, Captain, I'm kind of tired. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Simon: Plummer, your department is sitting on $6 million worth of state-of-the-art equipment, financed by some of the biggest corporations in the country and we're still shipping to the feds? Carolyn: That's right. And unless some genius walks in here with an instant matter-transmitting device, it's still gonna take three days. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Simon: That's probably the mayor wanting an update. Go on, get out of here, Plummer. I don't like having an audience when I tap dance. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Simon: All right, Jim, what's going on? Jim: I need a leave of absence. Simon: Are you nuts? Jim: I don't know. Maybe. I ran a blood test to see if I'd been drugged, but I'm clean. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % "Well, that's not enough. I'm losing control of my senses, Simon. I don't know how else to describe it. It's scaring the hell out of me." -- Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Jim: It won't work. Carolyn: I know. Jim: So don't bother. Carolyn: I won't. Jim: Good. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Jim: ...so let's just drop it. Carolyn: Sure, why should I expect anything to be different. Jim: What's that supposed to mean? Carolyn: Light's out, no one home. Or if there is, how would I know? (pause) I give up. Jim: Good. Can I have my plate back? I'd like to eat my dinner now. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % "Maybe if you'd kissed me like that before, we'd still be married." -- Carolyn Plummer to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Blair: Detective Ellison. I'm Dr. McKay. Jim: Your name tag says McCoy. Blair: Um...yeah. But the correct Gaelic pronunciation of my family name is "McKay". (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Jim: And who the hell are you, anyway? Blair: Me, I'm no one. But this man, he is. (hands him a business card) He's the only one who can truly help you. You're too far ahead of the curve for any of this techno trash. You're a cop. See the man. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Jim: You lost your name tag. Doctor: Oh, so I did. I'm Dr. McCoy. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Blair: Oh, hey. Notice how the war chant of the Yanomamo headhunters finds its echo in the cellars of Seattle. I'm sure your dad used to say that stuff all the time about the Stones. "Hey, hey, turn that jungle music down." Jim: Yeah, he did. So do I. You mind? Blair: No, no. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Jim: Why are you in my face? Blair: Oh, hey, look I'm really sorry about all that Shakespeare stuff at the hospital. But I just had to find some way to get you into my area here to talk. Jim: So talk. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Blair: Okay, um...my name is Blair Sandburg. And I'm working on my doctorate in Anthropology and you just may be the living embodiment of my field of study. If I'm correct, Detective Ellison, you're a behavioral throwback to a pre-civilized breed of man. Jim: Are you out of your mind? You dragged me all the way over here to tell me I'm some sort of caveman? (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Blair: Well, maybe I was a little out of line with that caveman remark, but I mean... [Jim slams Blair against the wall.] Jim: Listen, you neo-hippy witch doctor punk, I could slap you right now with larceny and false impersonation and you are heading real quick into harassing a police officer, and what's more your behavior is giving me probable cause to shake this place down from top to bottom for narcotics. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % "Hey, Joe Friday, relax, okay? Look, you mess with me, man, and you are never gonna figure out what's up with you." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: Switchman) % "I've got hundreds and hundreds of documented cases over here of one or two hyperactive senses but not one single subject with all five. You could be the real thing." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Jim: Let's say I buy this. Why is this coming back now? Blair: I don't know. But you need someone who understands your condition. Jim: And what's the payoff? Blair: My doctorate. I want to write about you. You're my thesis. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Blair: Yeah, the zone-out factor. You see, it's suggested in Burton's research, is that when a Sentinel is working his deal, he gets oblivious to the outside world. Sorta like the blinders are on. Usually he had a partner along, someone to watch his back. Jim: You mean like you? Blair: Oh, yeah, beautiful, great idea, I'd love to. Now, you ready for a little research? (The Sentinel: Switchman) % "Why did I let you drag me down here? I want to get rid of this thing, not figure out how it works." -- Jim Ellison to Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Blair: One, your abilities which were once latent and then suppressed have been dredged up. Translation: You are back on line. And I haven't got a clue on how to turn them off. Two, you're a detective with hyperactive senses. You're a monster, man, a human crime lab with organic surveillance equipment. What more could you want? Jim: Control. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Blair: 86 that, 86 that. See that blonde over there? See if you can hear what she's saying about me. Jim: Hey, I'm not helping you troll for coeds, short eyes. Blair: She's a TA, man. I'm clean. Now, c'mon, let's go, radar up! (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Girl #2: Would you go out with him? Girl #1: Yeah, I'd go out with him. He's adorable. But he's never asked me. Blair: Well? Jim: She thinks you're a dork. Blair: A dork. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Blair: How long were you here on stakeout? Jim: Four days. Blair: Well, maybe that's why. Jim: Why what? Blair: The forest. The isolation. The danger of the hunt? That could have kicked the Sentinel thing back up on you. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Jim: Nuts. I don't know what the hell I expected to find here. Blair: Hey, hey. Yesterday, you're begging a doctor for a cure and today you're complaining because you can't make it work? (The Sentinel: Switchman) % "Man, I am not in the mood to have my skull ventilated by some pissed-off magpie." -- Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Switchman) % "What? Part of your job is walking into a place and trying to figure out what happened there. So is mine. It's just that mine are usually a few thousand years vacant." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Woman at counter: May I help you find something? Blair: Yeah. Oh, wow, did you know that dress of yours resembles a ceremonial sarong of the ancient Mayan-- (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Blair: What is it? Another sensory thing? Jim: No, no, uh, a memory thing. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Simon: So what am I supposed to do here? Jim: Well, give me a warrant. What else? Simon: On what evidence? Because a detective smelled something on a piece of yarn he pulled out of a bird's nest? You know, Jim, I think you should take some time off. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Veronica: Tick. Tick.... Jim: Please. Veronica: Time's up. Jim: (to Blair) Help me look for it. Blair: Don't look. Listen. (The Sentinel: Switchman) % "Good work, Jim. I've been worried about you the past couple of days. Glad you finally came to your senses." -- Simon Banks to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: Switchman) % "Cadet? Cadet? Wait a minute, man. I am not cutting my hair." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: Switchman) % Blair: Look, I may be a rookie in your little dirty harry world here but I'm telling you, man. When it comes to thesis speak, I am a pro. Jim: In anthropology. The trick is to convince the captain that you're studying police science. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Blair: I will dress up in an evening gown like J. Edgar Hoover if you thought it would help. I want this partnership... Jim: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop right there, Chief. Blair: Yeah, I know. I'm never to refer to us as partners. Jim: That's right. Blair: I'm strictly the observer. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Blair: Yeah, I know. I'm never to refer to us as partners. Jim: That's right. Blair: I'm strictly the observer. Jim: Right. This sentinel stuff stays between us. I don't want anybody finding out what's going on with me. (The Sentinel: Siege) % "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with sharp objects?" -- Jim Ellison to Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Siege) % Blair: The central hypothesis to my dissertation is how the quality of evidence gathering at a crime scene can affect the capture of a perpetrator and ultimately the outcome of the trial. Simon: And you're requesting full access credentials to observe Detective Ellison on the job? Blair: Yeah. He is the best on the force, isn't he? (The Sentinel: Siege) % Blair: Yeah. He is the best on the force, isn't he? Simon: (to Jim) Did you tell him that? [Jim mouths the word "no".] (The Sentinel: Siege) % Simon: Look, Mr....Sandburg, is it? You don't seem like the law enforcement type. What got you interested in this field? Blair: Well, I've always been fascinated with the concept of the thin blue line. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Simon: The thin blue line. Blair: It's that slender thread that separates the lawful and the criminal elements of our society. It's a concept that dates back... Simon: I'm familiar with the concept. Could you excuse us a moment? I'd like to talk to Detective Ellison alone. (The Sentinel: Siege) % "Jim, when you first told me about this guy I was expecting an academic, not some neo-hippie flower child with time on his hands now that the Dead have broken up." -- Simon Banks, to Jim Ellison, on Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Siege) % Jim: Yeah, I hear you, Simon. This is a family thing. Simon: Family? Jim: Yeah. Blair's my cousin's kid. They've been supporting him through college for the last seven years. They figured if he finally got his doctorate he'd go out and get a job. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Simon: And all this talk about you only working alone? Jim: Look, even my mom called and begged me on this one. As far as I'm concerned he's just another ride-along. Anything happens to him, it is my responsibility. I take the heat. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Blair: You're telling me that my "thin blue line" rap didn't put this thing right over? Jim: I'm telling you that if you had listened to me I wouldn't have had to shovel the captain more bull than even you could dish out. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Blair: Wait a minute, you didn't give him that "cousin" story, did you? Jim: It was a last resort. Blair: And he bought it? Jim: Yeah, for now. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Jim: But from now on when I tell you to do something, you do it; when I tell you to say something, you say it, the way I tell you to say it, okay? Are we clear? Blair: Yes, we're clear. Jim: Very good. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Jim: Ah. So where's my lunch? Carolyn: You don't have to be so damn smug about it. Jim: (laughs) I just knew your sister wouldn't go through with the wedding. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Carolyn: Right, now on top of canceling her shower tomorrow, I have to buy you lunch? Jim: It wasn't my idea to bet on it. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Carolyn: I know a great new Indian place. Jim: No, no. That's too spicy. Carolyn: I seem to recall from our married days that you loved Tandoori. Jim: No, I still do, but this afternoon I just kind of feel like... Carolyn: We're not going to Wonderburger. Jim: My choice. That was the deal. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Joel: Yeah, but the way Garrett Kincaid disappeared maybe the Sunrise Patriots are gone for good. Jim: Yeah, and maybe the sun won't rise. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Vera: Now, Mr. Sandburg, the department requests all incoming personnel to submit to a drug test. I hope that's not a problem for you. Blair: Oh, come on! Do I look like that would be a problem? (pause) Don't answer that. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Carolyn: You're not responsible for every lunatic on the loose. Jim: Says who? (The Sentinel: Siege) % Simon: Are you all right? Jim: Yeah. Sandburg's in there too. Simon: Picked a hell of a day to get the guy his credentials. Jim: Yeah. (The Sentinel: Siege) % "Now, I don't want any police, SWAT, national guard, Salvation Army. I don't want anybody showing up. Cause If they do, I'll have to start killing more sworn agents of the United States of Tyranny. Am I making myself clear? And I'll tell you something, Captain-- I've got a whole roomful to choose from." -- Garrett Kinkaid to Simon Banks (The Sentinel: Siege) % "God... god, please... Please, I promise, If you get me out of this, I will stop lying. I'll stop lying to Denise, And Jill, and, um...oh, yeah, and Ann, and Ann too, right." -- Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Siege) % Simon: How do you think your buddy Sandburg's doing? Jim: It's hard to say. I don't know him all that well. Simon: Isn't he your cousin's kid? Jim: Yeah. We just didn't see that side of the family that much, you know. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Jim: (coughing at sewer stink) I don't know if I can handle this, Simon. Simon: Don't you think you're overreacting a bit? Jim: Just give me a minute to acclimate, will you? (The Sentinel: Siege) % Daryl: Man, why didn't my dad do anything? Joel: I'm sure he's doing whatever he can do. Daryl: Yeah, but he just stood down there looking up at me. Joel: Wishing he could trade places. Daryl: But he didn't do jack. Joel: Don't sell your dad short. I guarantee, you're the only thing he's thinking of. (The Sentinel: Siege) % McBride: Any sign of the bogey? Southern: No, but he took Van Dyke out with a vending machine. McBride: A what? Southern: A vending machine, and Garrett's pissed. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Kincaid: Are you the mole that took out two of my men? In this militia, that's a capital offense. (holds a gun at Blair's face) Blair: Hey, man, you don't want to do that, believe me. I'm worth more to you as a live hostage than a dead body. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Kincaid: What makes you think that your sorry ass is worth anything to anybody? Blair: Banks sent me in. Kincaid: You're a cop? Blair: Yeah. Lieutenant Sandburg, Narcotics. I've been teamed with Ellison. (The Sentinel: Siege) % "Hoskins? Get down there and kill who's ever in my building." -- Garrett Kincaid (The Sentinel: Siege) % Simon: How the hell did you know he was back there? Jim: Couldn't you smell him? It's too much skin bracer. (The Sentinel: Siege) % "What is it this time? English leather?" -- Simon Banks to Jim Ellison (thinking Jim smelled something again) (The Sentinel: Siege) % Blair: No! You don't understand. Kincaid: Shut up, kid. Blair: I'm not really a cop! I was lying! Kincaid: Shut up! Blair: I'm an anthropologist. Kincaid: Yeah, and I'm the president. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Jim: (to pilot) Take us back! Kincaid: No! You have to kill me first! Jim: Have it your way! (starts to shake his leg) Kincaid: Walters! Get this thing back now! (The Sentinel: Siege) % Walters: He's nuts if he thinks I'm flying into this dragnet. Blair: (moving forward and pointing a flare gun at Walters) And if you don't, we're all going to die. You hear me? We're all gonna die. Walters: Yeah, kill me and we all go down, buddy. Blair: I don't think so, punk. I flew Apaches in Desert Storm! Now turn it around! Now! (The Sentinel: Siege) % Carolyn: I thought I told you to be careful, you bum. Jim: I was careful. Wasn't I, Simon? Simon: Extremely careful. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Blair: I'm not with these guys! I'm Detective Ellison's partner....colleague. Simon: It's okay, guys. He's on our team! Blair: Did you say I was on your team? Simon: Strictly as an observer. Blair: Right, right. As an observer. Strictly. Of course. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Simon: Okay, what's going on here, Jim? Jim: What do you mean? Simon: You were awesome today. I've never seen anything like it. You were hearing things I couldn't hear; smelling things I couldn't smell. I mean, level with me, will you? (The Sentinel: Siege) % Jim: All right. Over the past couple of weeks, I've had these sensory things going on. Things I couldn't control. It turns out I've got what can only be described as hyperactive senses. Simon: What? You mean like a superman thing? Jim: No, no, no, it's all perfectly natural, Simon. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Simon: Yeah, and your friend, Sandburg? Jim: He's really an anthropologist. He's made a study of people like me in pre-civilized cultures. Simon: Pre-civilized cultures. Jim: He wants to observe me so he can help me figure out a way to deal with this. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Simon: Too much information right now, all right? Jim: I can imagine. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Simon: So I'll tell you what. In a couple of days when we get this mess cleaned up and things return for what passes for normal around here, I want both of your butts in my office and you tell me exactly what's going down. All right? Jim: Yes, sir. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Blair: You told him, didn't you? Jim: Yeah, I had to. Blair: What happened? Did he, like, freak or what? Jim: No. I actually think it's all going to turn out to be just fine. (The Sentinel: Siege) % Blair: Great, great. There's just one more thing I got to ask you. Jim: What's that? Blair: This wasn't like a typical day for you, was it? (Jim laughs and walks off.) Well, is it? Come on! (The Sentinel: Siege) % Jim: All I'm saying is that it would be nice to know that if I got into a jam, that you can cover my back. Blair: Uh-uh. No way, man. I'm not going around packing. My deal is that I'm here strictly -- strictly -- as an observer. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Beverly, We got one hell of a mess, guys. Two months' worth of undercover work with Mickey O'Toole where we wanted him but without Officer Choi's testimony, our case is dead. Jim: In case you haven't noticed, Miss Sanchez, there's a lot more that's dead here than your case. Beverly: I'm sorry. You're right. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Juno: Take it easy, now. This car's a classic. Jim: Get this creep out of here. Juno: At least put the top up. It's going to rain. Jim: Good. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % "Sandburg's always trying to get me to take up meditation or some such thing, but I figure with this place who needs it, you know? Carolyn never seemed to like it though. She thought it was too quiet." -- Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Blair: You should have called immediately. Jim: For what? Blair: For what. You lose your sense of hearing and taste for almost an hour and you don't think it's any big deal? (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Jim: Would you just forget it? I am not going to be some human lab rat for you to prod and probe every time something goes wrong. You got that? Blair: I'm just trying to help. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Jim: Whoo! What..? What was that about? Blair: You know, for a guy with hyperactive senses you can be pretty dense. Jim: Meaning what? Blair: Anyone can tell there was enough heat between you and Miss Beverly Sanchez here to incinerate a football stadium. Jim: Oh, that. Blair: Yeah, oh, that. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Jim: Carolyn and I have been divorced for nearly two years. Blair: It doesn't matter. Anthropologically speaking a relationship never terminates and homo sapiens resist change. Jim: Thank you for the science lecture, Teach. What's the short version? Blair: The short version? Carolyn's jealous. And you're dead meat. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Beverly: Unbelievable! Jim: I know what you mean. I mean, how the hell does he manufacture these alibis? Beverly: I am talking about you, Detective. Jim: Me? (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Simon: Why the hell didn't you tell me Juno was 200 yards away?! Jim: I didn't realize it. You've got to understand with this sentinel thing, I can see things other people can't. We're not going to let Juno walk on this one, are we, Simon? Simon: There's not much we can do about it, is there? Even if you came forward and told the truth, no one would believe you. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Jim: Don't say it. Blair: Say what? That you're an arrogant, self-destructive schmuck? I say it to you I got to say it to me too. I mean, I went along with you. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Jim: That was a big waste of time. Blair: Just 'cause the numbness went away doesn't mean it's not serious. At least now we know it's not some traditional medical problem, which means it's probably some sentinel thing that I don't understand. Jim: In other words, we spent half a day trying to figure out what I already know: you haven't got a clue. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % "In other words, we spent half a day trying to figure out what I already know: you haven't got a clue." -- Jim Ellison to Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Blair: You been eating anything weird lately? Jim: Well, I have had these cravings. Blair: Yeah? Jim: Last night I ordered pizza -- pepperoni and 30-weight motor oil. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Blair: Oh, come on! The only way we'll figure this out is if we go at it scientifically. Jim: Not now. Too busy. Blair: With what? Jim: Nailing Juno. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Blair: Oh, man, are we back on that again? Jim: We never got off of it. We just took a brief detour to the Sandburg zone. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Jim: We got to go to the morgue for Juno's autopsy. Let's go, Chief. Blair: Something I'm really looking forward to. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Jim: There's no reason for you to be jealous. We're barely on speaking terms. Carolyn: Her loss. Why is it that we're better friends divorced than we were married, huh? (The Sentinel: The Killers) % O'Toole: One problem: it's only a matter of time before the cops connect you to me. Juno: They'd never get a word out of me, Mick. O'Toole: Really? Juno: I'd die first. O'Toole: I'm glad to hear it. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Blair: Jim, we got to talk about these sensory blackouts. Jim: Not now. Hey, Doc. Blair: This all started after Danny's death, right? So what I think is happening is some form of post-traumatic stress. Jim: In other words, it's all in my mind. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Blair: Danny's death hurt you. It made you feel like you failed. So your emotions are all out of whack. Jim: My emotions are just fine. Blair: Right. You broke the law, got suspended -- you're self-destructing and you don't realize it. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Jim: Whoa, whoa, since when did you become my shrink? Blair: I'm not trying to be your shrink. If I'm right, the only one who can stop these blackouts is you. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Simon: Look, Sandburg, this is a crime scene. I don't want you touching anything. Blair: I know. I'm an anthropologist. I've been on excavations before. Simon: On second thought, you stay out here. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % "He was more than just my brother. He was the other half of my soul." -- Tommy Juno of Dylan (The Sentinel: The Killers) % "You better not be lying to me. And you better not screw with me or what's left of your friend won't fill a matchbox." -- Tommy Juno to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Jim: He took the deal. Simon: Great. Now all we have to do is find a way to bring a body back to life. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Jim: Well, you were right. It was me. It was the weirdest thing. I was standing there. And everything was a blur. And it was as if I was standing outside myself looking at myself. And I could make myself move and see and hear but it wasn't me. It was someone else. Blair: The most important thing here is that you took control. You see what I'm saying? (The Sentinel: The Killers) % "Well, knowing that the faithful companion's most important job is knowing when to get lost I'll see you later, man." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Beverly: You know, that's the second time in two days you've saved my life. Jim: Yeah, Sandburg's insinuated that I have an addictive personality. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Beverly: Well, maybe we should just try being friends. Jim: Friends? Beverly: Yeah. What do you think? Jim: Friends. Beverly: Friends. (they shake hands) Jim: With potential. (The Sentinel: The Killers) % Blair: Larry. Larry, Jim. Jim, Larry. Jim: I met a couple of these guys in the jungle. Blair: Don't stare, man. They take that as a sign of aggression. (on Larry, the Barbary Ape) (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: I thought this was supposed to be some big research project. Blair: Oh, it is, it is. See, I'm doing a paper on the short-term effects of concentrated television violence on primates. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Blair: This isn't a chimpanzee. It's a Barbary ape. And the behavioral pattern of a Barbary ape is remarkably similar to a human being. Jim: Maybe in your family tree. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: What was that? Was that a mousetrap? Blair: Oh, no, no, no. Mice are like small and cute but these... these... but these... (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: How can you live like this? Blair: Where else am I going to get 10,000 square feet for 850 a month? (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: Hey, buddy, how about a can of beer or something? Blair: Oh, yeah, sure. They're in the fridge. Jim: I'll take one. Blair: Oh, that's great. They're in the fridge. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Blair: What is it? Jim: I thought I heard gunfire. Blair: It's just the TV, man. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Joel: It looks like when the gasoline went up, the chemical precursor exploded too. That's what tore out the wall. You know, with all the stuff they had around here, man, this was a major drug lab. Jim: Good work, Taggert. Just one thing missing. Joel: What? Jim: The drugs. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: I think we worked that case last year together. I thought you gave up smoking. William: I did. Problem is smoking didn't give up on me. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Blair: This is just the worst. Where am I going to stay? Jim: I don't know. A hotel, hostel, something. Blair: That's fine for me, but what about Larry? Jim: Put him in a kennel. He'll figure it out. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: I'm not a big fan of animals in cages. Blair: Larry? Larry, he's no problem, no trouble at all. I mean, he's been around people his whole life. Heck, he's more human than most of my friends. Jim: And that's supposed to reassure me? (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Joel: So how are you and your roommates getting along? Jim: Don't ask. He makes all these weird noises, he eats stuff I can't even look at, and he smells funny. All he does is watch TV all day and it's driving me crazy. The monkey's okay, though. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: You think he'd admit it to you if the Deuces hit that drug lab? Gaines: So instead, you figure some tin-flashing white man is going to make him roll over. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Gaines: It's a bad move. Simon: Well, the decision's been made so why don't you just live with it? (The Sentinel: The Debt) % "Look, you're a good cop, Earl, but you need to learn when to give your attitude and your mouth a rest." -- Simon Banks to Earl Gaines (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Gaines: You know, I expect to be screwed by white folks. Simon: Oh, come on, Earl. Gaines: But I didn't think I'd get it from a couple of brothers. Williams: You're out of line, Gaines! (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Simon: Look, this is not about black or white. This is about you doing your damn job, brother. Gaines: I guess you hang with the suits long enough, you forget where you come from. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Simon: Damn! Jim: Don't take it personally, Simon. He's just blowing off steam. Simon: Yeah. I know. Just hit a little close to home. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: (pulls his gun at a noise) All right, put your hands where I can see them, now! Blair: (from the upstairs bedroom) Jim, it's me. Don't shoot. Don't shoot, man. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % "I'd like to report a lost Barbary ape. No. He's not a gorilla. He's an ape... Permit?" -- Jim Ellison, on phone, talking to Animal Control (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Blair: Come and get it! Eggs are almost done, scrambled firm just the way you like them, right? Good morning. Have a seat, man. Jim: If you think this little courtship ritual here is going to change my mind about throwing your butt out of here... Blair: No, no, no, no. If Larry can survive out there without a roof over his head, I'm, I'm sure that I can too. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: The truth is I'm trying to find out who's responsible for the killings. And I figured if I came right out with it you'd tell me to go to hell. Tyrell: No question, which is exactly what I'm telling you right now, man. Go to hell. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: That's some very fragrant weed you have in your trunk here. It's honduran red, right? Tyrell: I don't know what you talking about, man. Jim: I smelled it from over there. Tyrell: Jack, you bugging. Jim: No, you're bugging. You're getting worried -- I smell that too. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % "It's me. We got a little problem -- she won't leave." -- Blair Sandburg on phone to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Williams: You got no choice. He talks, we're finished. Leron: Yeah, well, I hate to cap a friend but a brother got to look out for his own first. Williams: Exactly right, Leron, exactly right. (shoots Leron in the back) (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Blair: I'll get this. You okay? Miss Lacroix: If worse comes to worse I'll be hearing my late husband sing the blues again. Blair: Let's hope not. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Gang members: Hey, what's going..? Back off. I'm warning you. Blair: Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet the Roosevelt Garden Safety Committee. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Simon: You think he's here to buy the ice? Gaines: This time of year, he ain't coming for the sunshine. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Gaines: How can you see that far? Jim: Good eyes. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Gaines: How'd you make that shot from way back there? Jim: Like I said -- good eyes. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Miss Lacroix: I want you and your friends to stay for supper. Blair: Of course, we'd love to. We'd love to. Gaines: If you don't, she'll whack you with her skillet. Blair: Oh, I know. I've seen that skillet, man. (The Sentinel: The Debt) % "That mini kong of yours busted back into my apartment, and he trashed it again. Now Animal Control's got the place surrounded, so I'm going to give you half an hour to bag him. If he doesn't come out with his hands up, well then, I call in the SWAT sniper." -- Jim Ellison to Blair Sandburg about Larry the barbary ape (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Blair: They say what he's doing? Jim: He was watching TV. Blair: You're kidding me. What program? (The Sentinel: The Debt) % Jim: Sandburg, what the hell's going on? Jim: What are you doing with the front..? (sees Christine) Hello, there. I'm Jim Ellison. I live here. Blair: Uh, Jim, this is Christine Hong. Chris, this is Jim, my roommate. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Christine: I thought you said you lived alone. Blair: No. I said we'd be alone. He was supposed to be working tonight. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: I'm just not used to knocking at my own front door. Blair: I'm sorry I snapped. It doesn't matter. This whole night was a disaster anyway. I couldn't stop thinking about Susan Frasier. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: Murder victims tend to get the best of us. You got to learn to separate yourself. Blair: Oh, yeah. Right. Just check my humanity at the door? (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Blair: Oh, yeah. Right. Just check my humanity at the door? Jim: Whatever it takes to stay present. What if the killer had still been at the scene, hmm? If your emotions are in the way, you're useless, potentially dangerous. Now, if you're going to hang with cops, you got to learn to do the right thing 'cause your life and the lives of many others are going to depend on it. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Hass: My sources say it could be the work of a serial killer. Jim: Since your sources seem to have all the answers, why don't you go ask them? (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: Those are two different voices. Carolyn: How can you be so sure? Jim: I... I can just tell. They are. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Simon: Hey, have you seen this? I have every news wire in the world wanting a statement. We got a leak here somewhere, Jim, and we got to plug it. Now, who else knows all the details besides us? Jim: Just Sandburg. Carolyn: Well, could it be him? I mean, he is new at this. Maybe he doesn't understand. It-- Jim: He understands fine. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: The 911 caller's our killer. Carolyn: We'll have to run a voiceprint analysis to verify that. Jim: With Susan Frasier dead it's our only possibility. Simon: Which means the killer we're looking for is a woman. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % "Serial killers often like to stay around, hang out, and admire their work, sometimes even taunt you to catch them so stay alert." -- Jim Ellison to Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Hass: Detective Ellison? My sources report that it was actually the killer who placed the victim's 911 call. Any comment? Jim: Yeah. I'm late for church. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Simon: Now what's this I hear about Sandburg tipping off the suspect at the church? Jim: I'm the one who blew it, sir. It was my responsibility. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Simon: Look, I know the kid helps you with this sentinel thing, but he is not one of us. Maybe it's time you should think about cutting him loose. Jim: No, sir. I have to disagree with that call. Blair understands what I'm going through. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Simon: You really trust this kid? Jim: Yes, sir, I do. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Simon: What you and I know about serial killers wouldn't fill a coffee cup. Now, we need some expert advice. Jim: Sir, if you would just give me a couple of days. I know we can crack this case. Simon: Jim, for once in your life will you leave your pride at the desk? If this woman is out there, she's dangerous. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: As to the victims themselves, it appears that... Well, she has no pattern in her selection. Right now, I'd say it's random. Bates: Hmm. Detective, in cases like this, nothing is random. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Blair: This is because I screwed up at the church the other day, right?. Now you're all pissed off at me. Jim: I'm not pissed off. Blair: Jim, I promise you nothing like that will ever happen again. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: Freeze it right there. Now back it up a little bit. Right there. You see it? Blair: What? Jim: How many women you know that have Adam's apples? Blair: You know, I think you're right. Jim: Which means our she is a he. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Blair: (laughing) You're going to Club Doom. Jim: You got a problem with that? Blair: Well, the Doom's an underground club. And you are like clearly labeled "cop." I could go in there and ask a few questions... (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: No, no way, not without me. Blair: Jim, I can blend in. You can't. Jim: I said, no way. It's too risky. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Christine: So tell me, what are we doing at the Doom ten minutes before they bolt the door? Blair: I'm investigating a murder. Christine: What? Blair: You remember my roommate? Well, he's a cop and I'm sort of working with him. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Christine: Is this about the dead body you saw? Blair: Exactly. I want to go inside and help him out and try to find a clue about who the killer is. You've got to promise me that you're not going to tell anybody about this. Christine: Scout's honor. Blair: All right, then, let's go. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Blair: Okay, I've got this whole thing figured out. Simon: Don't you knock? Blair: Right. Sorry, Simon. (knocks on door behind him) (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Bates: Remarkable. I'm Tony Bates. Blair: How you doing? Blair Sandburg. Simon: He's an advisor to the department. Jim: An advisor who doesn't do what he's told to. Bates: I think you're right on the money about this. Simon: What? (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: He kills Walker and assumes the identity of a dope dealer in a wheelchair, and then he kills Bright and assumes his identity and then Susan Frasier. Bates: Exactly. Think of it as a process of psychic ingestion. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Bates: Exactly. Think of it as a process of psychic ingestion. Blair: Right, right, right. Like Aztec warriors used to eat the heart of their enemies because they would believe it would enhance their prowess in war. It's true. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Hass: Come on, you guys. What about our deal? You owe me a hot tip, remember? Jim: Okay. Since you seem to know more about this investigation than we do, I got a tip for you, Don. (takes microphone) You're under suspicion for three murders. How do you feel about that? Hass: That's funny. Very funny. (takes microphone back) (The Sentinel: Cypher) % "I'm going to need more on this water. This guy's killing people; it's a game to him. I figure if I can... figure out the game, I'll know what his next move is." -- James Ellison to Carolyn Plummer (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Carolyn: Hang on a second. We only just established Bates's time in the bathtub. Blair: And we're the only ones who know? Simon: Lash was feeding the information to Hass himself. Jim: There's your leak. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: And you knew about this. Lash's father: The boy was a devil. I was hoping she would kill him. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: And break the seal. Carolyn: I can't, Jim. Oxygen will contaminate the sample. It'll be useless as evidence. Jim: Sandburg's life is at stake. Carolyn: What could you possible do with this water? Jim: Would you just break the seal? Come on, Simon. Please. Simon: Break the seal. I'll be responsible. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Simon: That's a reach, Jim. Carolyn: Simon's right -- we can't assume anything because you smell it. Jim: Unless you have any other suggestions, this is all we've got. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. I'd like you to meet my friends. I only have four of them now, but there will be more. You know, friends are, like really easy to make, dude. There's, uh... Adam Walker. He was really easy. He didn't struggle at all. But I guess it's 'cause he was really stoned. And then there's... Billy Bright. Bright...he was not. But I...overlooked that because, man... (taps drumsticks on chair) 'Cause he had talent. Oh...then there was sweet Susan. She had really good taste in cars, but that hair, those clothes? I mean, what was the girl thinking? You know... I think my finest hour... was getting up into your partner's face. But now... it's time for hairy Blairy and the beautiful...china doll." -- David Lash to Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Carolyn: Here's the last one. Alfred's Pond -- down by the waterfront. Jim: Right in the middle of old warehouses and abandoned buildings. He's got to be there somewhere. Carolyn: Well, wait a minute. Shouldn't we check nearby towns as well? Jim: No. There's no time. Simon, we got to take a shot now. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % "Yeah, this is going to really be fun. You have a wicked sense of humor. You know... Kind of hip... With a touch of the nerd. All in all, man... Quite a piece of work." -- David Lash to Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Lash and Blair: (yelling) Screw you, you head case! Help! Help me! (The Sentinel: Cypher) % "You just relax. We're going to see the ducks and then you're going to have a nice-- you're going to have... have a nice bath. Are you ready to die? 'Cause...I'm ready." -- David Lash to Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Lash: Progress report, man. How am I doing? Do I make a good you? Blair: You suck! Do you think you can be me? When's my birthday? Huh? What was the name of my first girlfriend? How old was I when I broke my arm falling out of Mrs. Danbush's tree? Huh? C'mon, you freak, answer me! (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Blair: You can't be me. Only I think what I think, feel what I feel. Lash: I can be you! I can be... Lash: ...You! Me. I... (Blair shakes his head.) Lash: Shut up, man. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Blair: You think you know who I am? I know more about you. Poor little Homer. Lash: No. Blair: Your pet duck? Why'd you kill him? Why'd you kill your brother? (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Lash: You are ruining this. Blair: Why'd you rub filth-- Lash: Shut up! Blair: Why did you make mommy punish you? You know, if you had just been a good little boy -- a good little Davey -- mama wouldn't have had to have scrubbed you in all those hot baths! (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Hass: In a daring 11th-hour rescue, Detective Ellison saved the life of a police observer by gunning the killer down moments before he would have struck again. And so, Cascade will sleep easy tonight because of you, Detective. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Simon: Well, I'd say you're guaranteed good press for the rest of your career. Huh? Carolyn: Just put in a good word for me. This is my best side. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Blair: Hey, Jim, last night when you said I did everything right -- did you mean that? Jim: Yeah. You kept your head even though you thought you were going to die. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % "You know, the Chinese believe when you save a man's life you become his blessed protector and it's your duty to do that for the rest of your life." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: Really? Well, here's today's rescue -- call Christine. Beg, crawl, whatever you got to do. Blair: I'm pretty good at that, huh? Jim: Don't ever lie to her. Remember -- trust, commitment. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Blair: Speaking of commitment, I've been thinking about getting a Cascade P.D. insignia tattooed right on my chest. Jim: Above the nipple ring? Blair: How did you know about that? (The Sentinel: Cypher) % Jim: Let me tell you something. You get a tattoo and your blessed protector's going to kick your ass down seven flights to the lobby. Blair: Whoa, there, tough guy! C'mon, you really think I'd put something on my body I couldn't take off? I was just kidding. Although an earring would be nice. You know, something tasteful. Maybe a small silver badge. (The Sentinel: Cypher) % "Is it working? On your cold. These rhythms promote better circulation. Something I picked up from Monbuttu tribe in Kenya. Open up all those passages. Sort of like, uh... sonic antihistamine." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: You know what, you are amazing. All that crap you put in your body that you call food and you won't take anything for your cold. Jim: I don't believe in chemicals. Blair: No argument from me, but this stuff is not your over-the-counter stuff here. I mean, It's all-natural. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: What's in it? Blair: It's a little bit of this, a little bit of that. It doesn't matter. Jim: Any illegal substances? Blair: No, no. Come on. Maybe if you're in Zimbabwe they have restrictions on certain U.S. goods. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Now, that stuff, that'll clean your sinuses. Jim: Or clean a floor. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Can't you tell me anything about where we're going? Jim: Sorry, Chief. It's not my call. (Sentinel: Night Train) % "Come on. Do you know germs have a life of their own? Not only did you pull me out of bed in the middle of the night, but now you're going to get me sick." -- Blair Sandburg (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Seeing that I am risking disease tonight, can't you tell me what this is all about? Jim: Picking up a package and bringing it back to Cascade. (Sentinel: Night Train) % "What type of package requires this much secrecy? Come on, Jim. Who am I going to tell?! [says last too loudly and everyone looks at him] How are you guys doing? Good to see you. [to Jim, more quietly] Sorry." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: Good. Would you mind if I told Sandburg what's going down, get him off my back a little bit? Simon: That bad, huh? Jim: Worse. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Simon: Well, sorry. You can't tell him anything till you get on board that train. Jim: (dryly) Thanks very much for your support. Simon: I don't make the rules. Jim: That's what I keep telling him. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Simon: Yeah. Says in big letters, "You are divorced. Now what?" Hell, man. I kept expecting this to be a great moment, and... I don't know. All I feel is empty. It gets better, right? Jim: Yeah. Gets better. Simon: Thanks. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: I got to say it. I'm really beginning to take this personally. It's because I'm not a real cop? Not part of your great fraternal brotherhood? Jim: You're right. That's it. Blair: Oh, man. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: We're a cult. Every cop in the state of Washington is required to join this cult. Actually we have our secret headquarters under the Masonic Temple on 8th street. Blair: Get out. Jim: Hey, Mike, am I lying? Of course you realize that now that we've divulged our secret, we will be obliged to kill you. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Why can't we take this package back to Cascade in a plane? Jim: It can't be flown. Blair: Ask a stupid question... (Sentinel: Night Train) % "Hey, wait a minute. I'm not getting mixed up with anything poisonous or radioactive, am I? I mean, that's it, right? The plane crashes, the stuff becomes airborne, gets into the water supply, people start getting sick, losing fingers, having mutant babies... I'm right. Jim, I'm an anthropologist, not a biologist. This is definitely not my area." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: Yeah, he torched one of his hotels and used $20 million in insurance to help save his other businesses. Seventeen people died in that fire. Blair: Oh, man. I'd say this guy's ruined his karma for the next 60 lifetimes. (about Edward Murdock) (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: What's all that about? Jim: I felt like I knew him from someplace. Blair: Yeah, me too. Cascade Zoo. Primate house. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: That's my job, Miss Kane. Blair: Yeah, that's our job. "Neither rain nor sleet nor dark of night will stay these guys from doing their appointed rounds." Jim: Isn't that the post office motto? (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Hey, Jim, come on, man. Do us all a favor. Jim: I'm fine. Blair: It's not going to poison you. Jim: Look, if that's stuff's so great run it by the F.D.A. and put a label on it. Then I'll give it a try. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Is something wrong? Jim: I don't know. I just got a strange feeling. Blair: Maybe you're running a fever. Jim: No, no, I don't have a fever. You just hold down the fort till I get back. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Well, don't you think we should have some type of secret password or something? Jim: A secret password. Blair: Yeah, so I know it's you. Jim: All right. Well, why don't you say, "who is it?" and I'll say, "Ellison." and then you open the door. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Isabel: I was getting claustrophobic in there and, uh, your partner kept staring at my legs. Jim: I'm sure it's just a nervous tic. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Isabel: A cop, a defense attorney -- would it be unethical for us to be friends? Jim: I don't know. It might be a conflict of interest, huh? I arrest the bad guys and you do everything you can to get them off. Isabel: It would make for some interesting conversation. Jim: Or we could just end up killing each other. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: But there's another problem. My senses have gone completely crazy. I mean, I'm totally out of control. Blair: How out of control? Jim: I mean, you want a laundry list? Blair: Yes! (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: Okay, genius, so how do we reverse it? Blair: We don't. It's too late. It's already rattling around in your blood system. We just gonna have to wait for it to wear off. Jim: So how long is that going to be? Blair: Like I have a clue. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Who is it? Isabel: Detective Ellison? Blair: If it was him, he would have said something. Jim? Isabel: Maybe he's hurt. Blair: Oh, man. I might have to shoot somebody. Okay. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Are you nuts, man?! Isabel: You know how long we worked on that plea bargain? (Sentinel: Night Train) % Wilson: What happened? Man: We threw him out the window. Isabel: Oh, my god. Blair: You son of a bitch! (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: Maybe Ellison saw them when he was out there before and figured something was up. Man: That's impossible. Wilson: You all have records. He's a Detective. Why not? Man: Because we were careful. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Hey. I'm just along for the ride. And as a matter of fact, I may be reevaluating my whole situation very soon. Isabel: Why? Do you think Ellison... Blair: No. People can fall off a train without... Anyway, this is not your ordinary guy. (Sentinel: Night Train) % "Now, remember, you were born with these senses. They're a gift passed on to you by your ancestors." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: I don't like it. Blair: Fine then. You're the one with the wacko senses. You don't want to learn how to control it, it's no skin off my back, pal. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Isabel: Ow! What are you doing? Blair: My backpack. I want to get my Swiss army knife. Isabel: Why? Blair: Well, it's sort of a good luck charm. I got it for my bar mitzvah. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Doctor: I thought I recognized you from the floor, Detective. Jim: Last summer, yeah. At the hospital. Doctor: You had problems with your hearing. We ran some tests. Jim: Yeah, I'm sorry. It's a small world. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: Let me have your gun. Simon: Where's yours? Jim: I gave it to Sandburg. Simon: You what?! Jim: I'll explain later. Please. Let me have your gun. Simon: For heaven's sake. Here, take it. (gives Jim his gun) (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: Give me the gun. Wilson: Detective, I can make you a very rich man. Jim: No, thanks. Wilson: I'm getting really tired of this. Jim: So am I. (knocks out Wilson and takes gun) (Sentinel: Night Train) % Isabel: (to Jim) Hey, you look pretty good for a man who was hanging from a train a couple hours ago. What are you going to do for an encore? Leap tall buildings in a single bound? Blair: No, no, no, don't encourage him. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Jim: I don't remember you being there. Blair: Oh, what about when I was watching your back? Jim: My back? I was pushed out a window. Where were you then? Blair: Oh, oh, that's my fault? (Sentinel: Night Train) % Isabel: You know, together, you guys have everything that I've been searching for in a man. Blair: We do? Jim: Oh, really? Isabel: Now, if I could only find that man. (Sentinel: Night Train) % Blair: Damn. I really wanted to get you back to the lab see if we could study this. You know, you could take some more of that cold stuff in a controlled environment, of course. Jim: Okay. Blair: Great. Jim: Under one condition. You hang underneath a speeding train while I spend the night handcuffed to Isabel. (Sentinel: Night Train) % "All right, Jim, if we're going to hone your skills, you're going to occasionally have to take some of these sensory tests. Just think of them as pop quizzes." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: Okay. How many fingers am I holding up? Jim: None, and if you don't move this along, I'll show you one of my fingers. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: Hey, Sandburg! What the hell was in that fourth cup? Blair: What are you talking about? I only put out three cups. Oh, man, no. No, no, no. You just drank the bad milk. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: Give a speech? Blair: Yeah. Jim: I'd rather have root canal. (Sentinel: Rogue) % "Five years ago as a member of the United States Army, Detective James Ellison, now with the Cascade Police Department, spent 18 months in a Peruvian in forest living among the Aymara Indians." -- Blair Sandburg (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: Jim, what thye hell happened? I thought you blew me off. Jim: Some of us have to work for a living. (Sentinel: Rogue) % "Six and a half years ago, I undertook a mission that, um, as it turned out would profoundly change my perspective on life." -- Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Rogue) % "Oh, man. The ebola virus is bad news. It's like the black plague on steroids." -- Blair Sandburg (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: Quarantine. Doctor, an African village is one thing, but to zip up a city this big... Price: We are not talking about the flu here, Detective. This is an airborne virus that turns human beings into blood pudding. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Joel: Here's the trigger from the tear gas found in the lecture hall. Whoever planted it went to a lot of trouble to keep it from being found. Carolyn: It's a mini-transmitter. Joel: And white-noise generator to hide the sound of the timer, which nobody could hear anyway. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Carolyn: Which he then buried in the lecture hall windowsill under plaster and fresh coat of paint. Blair: As if someone was expecting a security sweep. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: Are you telling me you didn't hear a thing over at the lecture hall? Jim: I tell you, the white-noise generator blocked out all the sound. I couldn't even hear myself thinking... (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: Who the hell are you? Brackett: My name's Lee Brackett and I've got the virus you're looking for. (pause) Aren't you curious to know why I stole it? (pause) Blair: Well, I am if he isn't. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Brackett: Of course, you are, Mr. Sandburg. I admire your insatiable curiosity. Without that, who knows? Maybe you wouldn't have uncovered Ellison's sentinel abilities. I know about your special talents. Jim: Hence the white noise generator. Brackett: Right. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: So why'd you steal the virus? Brackett: As a bargaining chip. Jim: What do you want, Brackett? Brackett: You're going to help me commit a crime. They'll be talking about you for years. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Brackett: I was C.I.A. duty officer five years ago in Peru. I debriefed the Special Forces officer who pulled you from the jungle. Blair: So, that's how you know about his sentinel abilities. (Sentinel: Rogue) % "His report on Ellison's hallucinatory behavior in the rain forest was fascinating. I filed away the information for future reference and kept an eye on his career here in Cascade -- yours too. I read an early undergraduate piece you wrote on primitive sentinels. The description fit Ellison to a "T". I'm glad you two hooked up." -- Lee Brackett to Blair Sandburg and Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: Get to the point, Brackett. Brackett: Well, the point is you two are going to help me steal something. Blair: Wait a minute, both of us? Brackett: Well, you're his guide, so to speak, so I'll need you too. (Sentinel: Rogue) % "Now, you hear that detonator? Removing the pack deactivated a white-noise generator. You can chase me or you can save your neighborhood from instant urban renewal." -- Lee Brackett to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: Jim, this is wacky dough. Are you telling me you couldn't smell it was a fake? Jim: I was so focused on disarming that thing, I couldn't... Blair: Man, this Brackett guy's a total dick! (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: Can't we call the C.I.A.? Jim: Nah, I've dealt with those guys before. Believe me, the cure is worse than the disease. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: Oh, it's an honor. I've been a big fan ever since your book blew the whistle on the agency last year. Kelso: Really? Thanks. I didn't think I had many friends in the law enforcement community. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Kelso: Yeah. Brackett and his type are the reason I got out of the spy business. Jim: You knew him. Kelso: I... I thought you read my book. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Kelso: I... I thought you read my book. Jim: Oh, I...read the review and I bought it and I've been meaning to. It's just that with work and all I've been inundated so... Blair: I think Jim's waiting for the "books on tape" version actually. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: I think Jim's waiting for the "books on tape" version actually. Kelso: It's all right. I'm resigned to the fact that I'm writing books that are read by the few and bought by many. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Kelso: Well, we oldtimers used to call the job we did "the show." It attracted all kinds of marginal type -- actors, grandstanders, psychos, extremists. Blair: Yep. That's Brackett exactly. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Kelso: Well, now, he was a varsity athlete recruited by the agency right out of Yale. The right combination of guts, brains, stamina...and complete amorality. Jim: The perfect covert operations officer. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Kelso: Brackett smelled a rat, killed the guy, and went underground. Jim: Till now. Kelso: Hmph. I kind of figured this wasn't an academic conversation. I don't suppose you guys can tell me what's going on? Jim: I'm sorry, I... Kelso: No, don't worry about it. I already know more than I want to. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: Wow. This is terrific. I really appreciate it, Mr. Kelso. Kelso: Don't thank me. Brackett's a treacherous bastard. I hate to see him loose in my town. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: So, maybe Brackett left something behind, a clue, to let us know where he's been. Jim: Lab guys have been all over this place. Blair: Jim, when are you gonna realize that forensic analyst doesn't have half the awareness you've got? (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: I wouldn't know where to begin. Blair: Take a deep breath. Jim: Don't patronize me. Blair: Jim, I'm talking about using your sense of smell. Jim: Oh. (Sentinel: Rogue) % "Oh, Jim, come on. You don't know where that's been." -- Blair Sandburg, on Jim tasting the chile-pepper he picked up from the floor (Sentinel: Rogue) % Price: This is my worst nightmare. Jim: Please, I need quiet. Price: All these innocent people dead and you want a little quiet? Jim: (hears heartbeats) They're not dead. They're asleep. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: Brackett's here. Price: How could you know that? (Sentinel: Rogue) % "One more step and I'll snap her neck. This is a demonstration of what'll happen if you don't do as I ask. Do it or it's instant replay across the city. Only next time, nobody wakes up." -- Lee Brackett, to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Rogue) % Price: What is so special about you anyway? That didn't come out right. I mean... Jim: It has to do with my liaison work with the C.I.A. -- certain operational procedures I'm familiar with. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: What about the metallic taste in the mud? Carolyn: You tasted it? Blair: (pause) Uh, yeah. I didn't contaminate your sample or anything, did I? (Blair, covering for Jim) (Sentinel: Rogue) % Brackett: Now the obvious things I'm supposed to find. (to Blair after pulling a native necklace from around his throat) I hope you didn't let them rig a valuable artifact with a mini-transmitter. Blair: It's a replica. (Sentinel: Rogue) % "I'll take the wire in your pants. Unless you want me to have Mr. Sandburg get it out for you." -- Lee Brackett to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Rogue) % "All right, I'll take the protein transmitters. (pause) Look, don't waste my time or yours. That molecular protein transmitter may be new to you cops but it's been on the covert black market ever since the Russians stole it. And this scanner makes it obsolete." -- Lee Brackett (Sentinel: Rogue) % Brackett: Do as you're told and you won't have thousands of deaths on your conscience. Jim: Our conscience. Brackett: Well, certainly not mine. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Carolyn: They found the protein transmitters in a Peruvian restaurant on Balleyette Street. Simon: Oh, that's just great. So you're telling me your virtually undetectable wire is virtually worthless. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: What are we doing here, Brackett? Brackett: Well, as long as you're in the dark, I'm one step ahead of you. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: There'll be no murder on my watch. Brackett: Not so far. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: This one of your "overthrow the government" scenarios? Brackett: Someone's read my file. That traitorous bastard Jack Kelso bring you up to speed on that? Jim: You've got a lot of nerve calling anybody a traitor. Brackett: The republic that I swore allegiance to was overthrown years ago. The people in charge today -- they're the traitors. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Brackett: The republic that I swore allegiance to was overthrown years ago. The people in charge today -- they're the traitors. Let's go. Jim: Just a patriot out to save us from ourselves, huh? Brackett: You have no idea what your government's up to. Jim: Maybe not, but last time I checked my government wasn't throwing women off balconies. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: Shut the hell up and let me do it, okay? Brackett: Okay, but you touch me one more time (points gun at Blair's head) and this guy never needs a haircut again. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Brackett: What's happening? Blair: Jim? Jim! Oh, man! Not now, not now! It happens when he focuses so intently on one of his senses he loses all of his others. I thought you read my paper! (Sentinel: Rogue) % "Welcome to my all-too-humble temporary residence. I've been expecting you. Searching for this place seemed to be the best way to keep you occupied. Now, if you're watching this, you found my little trigger and defused it. Sorry, but that bomb's a fake. I'd be running if I were you." -- Lee Bracket on video (Sentinel: Rogue) % Joel: Where the hell is the virus? Simon: Where the hell is Jim? (Sentinel: Rogue) % Brackett: Emergency security should be arriving any minute now. If I were you, I'd be outside warning them not to cross that minefield unless they want their families to start collecting on their pensions. Jim: Get out there and tell them! (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: We can't let him go! Jim: Brackett got what he wanted and I'm through playing his games. Now he's not stupid enough to detonate that virus while he's in range, so he's not going anywhere. Now, get going! (Sentinel: Rogue) % Blair: Well, it sure took you guys long enough to override that... override or whatever it was. (Soldier shoves Blair to his knees and holds a gun on him.) Soldier: Shut up... or I'll personally shoot you first. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: I'll explain later, sir. Soldier: You'll explain now. Jim: There's a bomb with enough plague virus to kill half this city in a car parked just outside the gate. If you want to live to explain to the media how you saved the day, you'll get us over to that car now! Soldier: Follow me. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Soldier: I've contacted your captain, sir. The hazmat unit'll be here in three minutes. Jim: They'll be two minutes too late. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Simon: Score another one for the good guys. Jim: Yeah. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Price: Jim, I'm curious. Are your instincts always so on the money? Jim: Oh, once in a while I get lucky. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Price: Great. I'd love to hear all about your experiences with tribal medicines. Blair: Sure. Hey, you know, there's a new exhibit on primitive cultures over at the Natural History Museum. Price: Great. If you're not doing anything we could go now. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Carolyn: So... Were you going to ask her out? Jim: Oh, I was thinking about it. Maybe. Yeah, kind of. Carolyn: I guess that old Ellison charm is slipping, huh? Jim: You know, slipping is one thing, but, uh...that's a... hundred-story drop. (Sentinel: Rogue) % Jim: Let's get some pizza. Blair: The pie of death? No way, man. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: All right, how about Mexican? Blair: Why don't you just shoot the lard straight into your veins? Come on. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % "Hey, Sandburg, do you notice a sudden drop-off in the amount of people that will eat with you?" -- Jim Ellison to Blair Sandburg (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: Get me some backup and get your butt off the street. Blair: It may not be in that order. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: My car! My car. Jim: Nice hose job. Blair: Think my insurance agent's going to call this an act of God? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: Hey, Chief. There's no reason to be ashamed if you're feeling a little queasy, all right? Shock is your body's way of protecting itself. Blair: Shock? Jim: Yeah. Blair: I am way beyond shock, man. I am like, energized! Jim: Say what? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: It was the wildest thing, Jim. There I was, all alone. Me against those bank robbers. And the next thing I knew, I just got into action. It was so wild. Jim: Maybe we should get you home. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: Now I know what it's like to be you. I mean, not the enhanced senses part, but that reptilian brain, that primal man, survival of the fittest. Jim: I'll drive, Conan. Give me your keys. Come on. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: Nice orchids. Must be difficult to find soil with proper amounts of potassium nitrates and sulfates, huh? Carasco: Not really. There was a lot of volcanic activity in this area. Jim: I guess you could mix in gunpowder. Carasco: I've never heard of that before. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: I need your help on a case. Blair: Oh, cool! Ever since that armored car thing I have been so pumped, so flying on adrenaline... (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: No. Jim, you've got to get me into action here. You can't waste my amps interviewing some clueless little exchange student. Jim: I wouldn't say "clueless" applies here, Chief. (Maya walks by.) Blair: Oooh! Is that her? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: Oooh! Is that her? Jim: Yeah. Anyway, I can get somebody else on it. Blair: No, no, no, Jim, Jim. It's okay. I got this one. Got your back. Can't let my partner down, can I? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Simon: All right, Jim, look, I know you're not going to like this, but the Chief just called. A.T.F. is sending down an agent to work with us. Jim: Oh, no, sir. No. The last thing I need is some glory-minded fed screwing up my case here. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: Can I help you? Drennan: You're the one who looks like he needs help. Jim: I'm just trying to get my...my lunch. Maybe we could share it. Drennan: I don't eat junk food. Jim: Well, you should try it. It kind of grows on you. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Drennan: Can you tell me where I can find Detective Ellison? I'm Agent Drennan, A.T.F. Jim: You're a fed. Drennan: Don't worry; it's not contagious. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: Ellison...Ellison. I haven't seen him in quite some time. Pardon me. (tries to leave) (Simon comes in.) Simon: Jim, good. (to Drennan) I see you found Detective Ellison. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Maya: No, I'm just not used to being traded from one professor to another like a used car. Blair: Oh, no. No, you're not being traded. Borrowed, maybe, but not traded. I'm sorry. I didn't think that you'd object. It's just that I needed someone good and Dr. Kingsford said you were his best assistant. But, hey, you know, if you don't want to work for me...I understand. Maya: No, I just like to be asked, that's all. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Maya: No, I just like to be asked, that's all. Blair: Okay. Then I'm asking. Would you please be my..? (stands and dumps half of the papers he's carrying) Yeah... good. My research assistant? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: Good. As you can see I'm kind of sloppy, and anything you can do to help me with these files would be great. Maya: You ever considered filing cabinets? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Maya: You ever considered filing cabinets? Blair: Filing cabinet? Whoa! All right, what a concept. Look at that -- you're already irreplaceable. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Drennan: Hector Carasco is one of your suspects? Jim: Yeah. Why? Do you know him? Drennan: I know his name. Jim: Well, then, maybe you can tell why he has a sealed federal file? Drennan: If I did, it wouldn't be sealed, would it? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Maya: So you spent three months living among the Kombai Tree people of Irian Jaya? Blair: Oh, yeah... It was really, really wild. You see, I was the first westerner they had ever seen. They thought I was a laleo -- an evil spirit disguised as a white man. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % "See, there they were. They had these bows with these barbed arrows pointed at me, And, uh...well, I freaked out. I panicked, and I turned and tripped and fell flat on my face in the mud. They started to laugh. They figured if I was that uncoordinated, I couldn't be much of a threat, you know?" -- Blair Sandburg, to Maya Carasco (on the Kombai Tree people of Irian Jaya) (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % "Yeah... but their houses -- They're hundreds of feet up in the sky at the top of these jungle trees so they can see the mountains and the birds and keep the sorcerers away. It was like living in the sky." -- Blair Sandburg, to Maya Carasco (on the Kombai Tree people of Irian Jaya) (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: It was like living in the sky. Maya: Wow. That sounds really beautiful. Blair: Transcendent. (about the Kombai Tree people of Irian Jaya) (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Drennan: Your friend just broke federal law, Detective. I'll need her name. Jim: Doe. Jane Doe. At least that's the name she gave me. Drennan: Fine. I'll have my office check the phone records for Major Crimes to the Treasury Department. Simon: Drennan, do you take some perverse pleasure out of pissing people off? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % "Drennan, do you take some perverse pleasure out of pissing people off?" -- Simon Banks (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Drennan: I told him to find out the name of the ship. I gave $500 as a down payment. Jim: What, are you stupid? You gave Sal $500? The most I've laid out for him is $50. A guy like Sal's going to self-destruct over that kind of money. Drennan: Wrong. He'll feel appreciated and work his ass off to get what I want. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: So what happens when I want some information and all I have is $50? Drennan: I guess you'll be $450 short. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: Oh, wow... a Benitez! When I was in Brazil, I saw some of his works at an exhibition at the National Museum. He claims he collects plants from the rain forest to make his colors. Carasco: And that's why no one has ever been able to match his vibrancy. Not many Americans know Benitez. Blair: Oh, it's unfortunate. His work is brilliant. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Carasco: So, this is my insect problem. Vargas. He was at the docks, asking questions about guns. Carasco: (to Sal) You're shaking my friend, my friend. Are you afraid? You should be. (to Vargas) Make sure he tells you all he knows, then remove him from my house, then kill him. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % "If the Yakuza try knocking off the mob with military armaments, Cascade's going to look like Beirut." -- Simon Banks (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Drennan: How did he die? Jim: He was hacked to death...by a machete. Drennan: I'm sorry. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: I guess your money made him a little careless. Wrong people, wrong questions. Drennan: I was just trying to motivate him. Jim: Well, you motivated him right into a body bag. You happy? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Drennan: And if those guns hit the streets? How many more people in your city are going to die? Look...I'm sorry about Sal, but we need information. Jim: Right, right. The trouble is, Drennan, I don't see any information. All I see is a corpse. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Maya: (to Jim) Hi. Are you a grad student too? Blair: Uh... no, actually, Jim is a researcher and I'm helping him out with a project on human behavior. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: It's not what you think. Okay, okay, it is what you think, but I did find out about her father. The guy loves his daughter. He collects art and he grows orchids. Jim: He also has people killed. Blair: What? That's crazy. Come on. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: This morning, one of my informants turned up dead. We found some soil samples on his clothes. Same type of soil that Carasco uses to grow his orchids. Blair: So... what does that mean? You can get that stuff anywhere, right? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: If Carasco is involved, it's possible that Maya's involved too. Blair: No, no, no, that is impossible, man. Jim: Sandburg, I just don't want to see you put in danger. Blair: Jim, just leave it alone, okay? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Maya: Hey. You can't feed yourself. The tradition is that I have to feed you. Blair: I've never heard of that tradition. Maya: Well, that's because I just made it up. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Maya: Why are you asking so many questions? Blair: I'm curious -- about you, about your family. I want to know everything about you. Maya: Why? Blair: Because I think I'm falling in love with you Maya: And I think I'm falling in love with you. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: Come on out, Drennan. Drennan: How did you know I was out here? Jim: You wear too damn much perfume. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: Somebody's coming. Drennan: I didn't hear anything. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: I'll call for back-up. Drennan: We won't make a collar if we wait. We gotta take them now. Jim: There's at least fifteen of them. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Drennan: Everybody freeze! You're surrounded By A.T.F. agents! So throw your weapons down... (baddies return fire) Jim: I guess they called your bluff. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Simon: Captain, I strongly suggest you review Ellison's conduct and procedure on the scene. Jim: Are you out of your mind, Drennan? I practically saved your damn life and you've got the nerve-- Drennan: You allowed key suspects to escape. I'm filing charges against you for interfering with an arrest by a federal officer. Jim: You know, Drennan, it's all of a sudden becoming crystal clear why you work alone. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Simon: Jim, look, I know you don't want to hear this, but you want to cut the woman a little slack. Jim: And why is that, sir? Simon: I looked up Drennan's record. She's g good cop. Jim: She's also got a chip on her shoulder the size of a two-by-four and been smacking me with it ever since she got here. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: Hi. I need to see Maya. Blanca: She doesn't want to see you. (shuts the door) Blair: Damn it. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % "When I was a rookie, fresh out of the Academy, maybe six months, there was another rookie. His name was Delgado. He was a good friend of mine. One Friday, we were going across the street to grab a bite to eat. When, out in front of the station there was this fender bender. These two guys jumped out of their car, ready to tear into each other. So Delgado and I, we go over there to try and cool things down. What we didn't know was that one of the guys was an escaped felon. So when Delgado goes over to talk to this guy, he pulls out a gun and he shoots him. So I pull out mine and we exchange fire. He misses. I don't miss. But that doesn't help Delgado... Because he's dead." -- Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % "I spent the next few months so pissed off at the world -- angry, confrontational. I did some stupid, seriously stupid things because I kept thinking it was my fault. But I was wrong, you see. Because there was nothing I could do." -- Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Drennan: He was my partner. You're supposed to protect your partner. Jim: You do your best and if it all falls apart, then hopefully, you can find some forgiveness, and you move on 'cause that's all you can do. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: Maya said they took Blair to the greenhouse. I'm going to go check it out. Cover me. Drennan: You sure you trust me? Jim: Absolutely. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Miller: Show me the money. Carasco: The rest upon delivery. After nightfall. Well... anything else? Simon: No, that should be just enough rope to hang yourself, Julio. Carasco: Shoot him! Simon: Shoot me, Officer Miller, you and the rest of your team will be back walking a beat. Cuff him. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: All right, all right. Admit it. A one-armed woman is of no use in the kitchen. Here. Pour a little bit of the plum wine in the chow mein. Can you handle that? Drennan: Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. You remember? (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Blair: I love you. Maya: I love you too. But I hate you too. I just need time. I need to find out who I am and what I feel. Blair: I'll be here. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Jim: Have you been talking to Drennan? I'm trying to have a little Chinese food here and she's telling me that MSG is an hallucinogen. I think she needs some talking to. Would you straighten her out? Want some noodles? Blair: Not right now, okay, Jim? Jim: All right. (Sentinel: Love and Guns) % Man #1: "Take the office at the Rayburn Tower," he says. "It's 30 stories up. Who can rob us there?" Man #2: So all this is my fault? Man #1: Oh, you'd better believe it. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: Just a few more questions. I'd like to be able to finish my report. Man #2: He wants to finish his report. Man #1: Typical. All you need to know is half a million. Half a million! 500... Man #2: ...thousand dollars. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Man #1: The entire shipment, gone. Man #2: Lucky for us we're insured...with a 20% deductible. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: Let's go, Chief. Blair: Excuse me. Man #2: What is he? Some kind of Indian? (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: You picking up something? Jim: It's kind of hard to define. Well, maybe it's just a nervous reaction. Blair: To what? Jim: I don't know. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: Can you describe it? Jim: Uh, my vision's clearer and my hearing's a little better. My skin's tingling like I finished working out. But not...I don't know, it's subtle. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: Ever felt it before? Jim: Well... Blair: Well, what? Jim: Yeah, the other robbery scenes. Blair: What other robbery scenes? Jim: You know, like this one. The jewelry robberies? Blair: And you didn't tell me? Jim: Well, it didn't seem important. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: And you didn't tell me? Jim: Well, it didn't seem important. Blair: Well, what's different about it now? Jim: It's starting to bug me. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: All right, um, okay... Walk back over to the safe, but try to walk in a straight line. Okay? Man #2: What is he, a cop or a carpet installer? (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: So in other words, you don't feel good any more. Jim: I feel fine. Blair: Define "fine." Jim: Okay, all right, all right. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: Let's just get back to that intensity thing. Jim: I told you. Near the safe, it got more intense...I guess. But we're talking hair's breadth here. Blair: But you did sense a shift. Jim: Or not. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Simon: Is there something else? Blair: Something new with Jim's senses. Jim: I don't think we need to bother the captain. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Simon: What's he talking about, Jim? Jim: Nothing, sir. Blair: Jim, this is not nothing. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Simon: Is it going to help us? Blair: I don't know. I haven't quite figured it out. Simon: Out of my office. Jim: Thank you, sir. Let's go. Blair: Fine. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: Where are you going, man? What's the problem? Jim: You didn't have to pounce on the first two girls who smiled at you here. Blair: Come on, Jim. That's the way it's done, you know. You just got to hit it, you know. Jim: Sandburg, I'm just not really good at this kind of stuff, you know. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Woman: Here he is. I told him I was waiting for you. I think he was trying to pick me up. Jim: Never would have guessed. Woman: I should thank your girlfriend for letting me borrow you. Jim: Actually, we just met. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Woman: Mmm. How's it going? Jim: It's not. Woman: Maybe she's shy. Jim: Like you. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Woman: Oh, I can't afford to be shy. I don't know that many people. Jim: Jim. Laura: Laura. See? Now I know one more. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Laura: Mmmm....I shouldn't have started this. Jim: Last time I looked there are two of us here. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: I didn't hear you come in last night. Jim: It was late. Blair: Oh, yeah? Jim: Yeah, I was driving around by myself. Got halfway to the Canadian border before I realized where I was. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: So what happened? Jim: I don't know. I guess she wasn't interested. Blair: Hey, man, you know, well, uh ..at least you went down swinging. I've never seen you work that hard before, man. You going to try to see her again? Jim: Nah, she didn't even tell me her last name. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: What's this stuff? Blair: Trust me. Jim: Coming from you, those are the scariest words in the English language. What is this? (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: We checked these out of evidence lockup. Jim: "We"? Blair: Well, actually, you did. You see, I've gotten really good at forging your signature. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: I'll be damned. Blair: What? Jim: That...that feeling again. That sensory thing. Blair: Uh, okay. Uh, use it. Jim: How? (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: I still can't believe someone has to die for a bunch of rocks, man. Jim: Yeah. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Calli: Excuse me, gentlemen. May I see your invitations, please? Jim: (pulls out his badge to show her) Detective Ellison, Cascade P.D. Calli: I'm sure you do a lot of wonderful things for the city, Officer, but this party is by invitation only. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: In case you haven't noticed, sir, we have a situation across the street. A security guard has been killed. A million dollars in jewels have been stolen and a fire has broken out. Ted: Well, that's all very horrible indeed, but it has nothing to do with us. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Ted: That's absurd. Have you any idea how many important people there are here this evening? I do not want them harassed. Jim: Sir, our intentions are not to harass anybody. We just want to find out who's here so we can question them later on if necessary. Ted: Very well. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: You got something? Jim: You know how many perfumes are in the air here, not to mention colognes, aftershaves? Blair: So what, did you lose the trail or what? Jim: I don't know. I'm just kind of confused right now. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: I don't know. I'm just kind of confused right now. (sees Laura) What's she doing here? Blair: Jim, there are no accidents, man. This is a sign from God. You must go. Go forward, man. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Simon: Jim. Jim: Oh. Hi, Simon. (keeps going to Laura) Simon: Ellison! (Sentinel: Attraction) % Simon: What the hell's going on with Ellison? First, he calls me down here, telling me that he's got the place locked up. Then he walks away from me like I'm trying to sell him a time-share. Blair: I don't know, Simon. He met this girl, and... (Sentinel: Attraction) % Laura: You didn't tell me you were a cop. Jim: You didn't tell me your name. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: So these aren't the thieves we're looking for? Jim: Think about it. If you had just stolen a million dollars worth of jewelry from across the street, would you hang around to snag a couple extra watches? (Sentinel: Attraction) % Simon: It's been well over an hour since the fire. The real thieves must be long gone by now. Jim: They're here in the building, Simon. Don't ask me how I know. I just do. Simon: I can't explain away our presence to the deputy mayor and six members of the damn city council by saying you had a "feeling." (Sentinel: Attraction) % Simon: What the hell is with him tonight? Blair: You see that girl over there? Simon: The one he's going after like he just got out of jail? (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: It's the strangest thing, Simon. He just met her the other night and he's gotten totally infatuated with her. Simon: And now he's acting like some teenager? Blair: No, no, no, it's different than that. It's like he can't even reason. He's...working on pure instinct. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: He's...working on pure instinct. Simon: Like a dog. Blair: Yeah, if you want to be crude about it. Yeah. Simon: Works for me. (Sentinel: Attraction) % "How did they figure out we were here so fast? They should have been chasing their tails for weeks." -- Ted McCarthy (Sentinel: Attraction) % Ted: Why didn't you tell me about this? Bruce: I didn't think it was... Ted: That's right. You didn't think. Laura is capable of anything. Bruce: So she is the perfect person to keep an eye on Ellison. He gets too close, she'll have no problem taking him out. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: What's wrong? Laura: I like you, Jim. Jim: Well, I like you too. Laura: If things were different... Jim: What things? Laura: Maybe I'll tell you about it sometime. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: I wouldn't drink that if I were you. Jim: Why's that? Blair: We ran out of coffee. I'm reusing the grounds. Jim: (drinks it anyway) It's not too bad. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: Right. Laura. Yeah. Don't you think your attraction to her is just a little bit off scale? I've been watching you, and... Jim: Whoa, whoa. You've just crossed that line. You can study the sentinel thing all you want, but stay out of my personal life. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: I have been studying, Jim, all night long, because I was sure that this experience you're having with Laura somehow factors into this thing at the crime scenes. Jim: You're nuts. Blair: I just hadn't made the connection yet. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: There is no connection. There's just two ordinary human beings that...you know, found each other. Blair: There is nothing ordinary about this. Jim: I don't want to analyze it, Sandburg, okay? (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: Think about it, Jim. When you saw her last night it was like nothing else on the planet... existed. Jim: So what? Why do you want to rain on my parade? (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: 'Maybe I'll tell you about it sometime.' Blair: Tell me what? Jim: Something Laura said last night. Almost as she was...trying to confess. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Bruce: But things could get very sticky. Laura: How? Bruce: He wants to kill you. And me, too, I assume...just as much as we want to kill him. (Sentinel: Attraction) % "Well, of course, you didn't. I mean, hey, man, I still want to believe in Santa Claus. (pause) What's so different about this? That type of body chemistry doesn't come along every day and when it does, we have to believe that it's something more to keep us from seeing it for what it really is which is a purely instinctual reaction to another person's body chemistry. Jim, I have studied so many cultures and you know what? Nobody's got it figured out. I mean, hell, man, if someone ever did there would be no art, no poetry, no music." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: I just don't get it, you know. How can it be chemical when what I'm feeling are real feelings? Blair: They are. That's the paradox. I mean, as a sentinel, your body chemistry is going wild. But as a man...as a man, it affects your feelings. One's not exclusive to the other, Jim. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Simon: Look, Jim, maybe you should take the rest of the day off. We can take it from here. Jim: I prefer not to, sir. This is my case and, uh, I'm going to see it through. Simon: Nobody would blame you, man, if you stepped away. Jim: I would. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Jim: You stay here. Blair: You got it. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Laura: What are you doing? Jim: I'm helping you disappear. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Simon: It's been a while since I was that turned around by a woman. Jim: I hear that. Blair: Oh, man. Happens to me at least three or four times a week. Of course, most of these girls don't even know that I'm alive. Jim: That's the difference between pheromones and hormones. (Sentinel: Attraction) % Blair: The is no golf course, Jim. This is, uh... This a quiet contemplation sort of place. Jim: No golf, huh? So, uh, when you said "retreat", you meant more like a spa -- massage, you know, mineral baths, that kind of thing? Blair: No. I said "simple." I probably even said "spartan." (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % "Simon tells me that you haven't had a day off in over a year. Your energy level's way down, man. You've said yourself that your sensory skills seem to be getting a little dull. So I did some reading, some checking up. The tribal elders, they used to send their sentinels out once year on a retreat to sharpen their senses." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: So you're talking about, uh, solitude, long walks in the forest, primeval communing with nature... No civilization? That's beautiful. I can deal with that. Blair: Right, right. Think of it as a place to get back to your spiritual roots. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Blair: Right, right. Think of it as a place to get back to your spiritual roots. Jim: You know if you're roping me into some sort of new age community, workshop-type deal... Blair: No, no, no. This is no new age workshop, Jim. This is... very, very traditional. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: Okay, Chief, this whole monk thing they do -- it's an act right? You know, like when you go to Caesar's Palace? You know the guy in the toga taking your bags isn't really a Roman. Christopher: I'm afraid you may have been misled, Detective Ellison. What exactly did, uh, Brother Blair tell you about our little resort? (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: It's nice to meet you. But when Blair suggested a retreat, the last thing I expected was a monastery. No offense, gentlemen. I was wondering when I could expect a ride, uh, back to my truck. Jeremy: Tomorrow morning. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Blair: Don't worry about it, man. This place has everything you're going to need. Jim: Really? Do you have a satellite dish? Christopher: No. Jim: Television? Christopher: I'm afraid not. Jim: Indoor plumbing? (Long pause.) Jeremy: Scared you, didn't we? (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Blair: I see you got electricity. Jeremy: Actually, we just put in a generator. In fact, we've a single light bulb in every cell. We find it useful for reading at night. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Blair: Jim, did you just make a date in a monastery? Jim: She called me. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jeremy: I'll give this back to you. There's one in the office for emergency calls only. No cellphones are permitted. And I'll also take your gun. Jim: No. I need my gun. I'm a cop. Jeremy: I understand. However, guns are not necessary at St. Sebastian's. Blair: Give him the gun. This is a monastery. It's the last place on earth you're going to need one. Jim, come on. Give it to him. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % (Jeremy comes back in and takes Jim's headphones and radio.) Jeremy: No radios either. Sorry. (leaves) Blair: Maybe he's a sentinel monk. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Marcus: I remember you. The young man who promised to write to allow me to vicariously enjoy his exploits in the real world. Blair: You know, time...gets by you sometimes. Marcus: Well, I forgive you, but then... Blair & Marcus (at same time): You/I have to! (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jeremy: Brother James? Would you care to complete the benediction? Jim: Uh...Well, I, um... Jeremy: It's traditional to include one of our guests. Jim: All right, I'll give it a shot. Thank you, Lord, um... Um... for all that you do...for the great chili. Amen. All: Amen. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Blair: You'd better be careful, Jim. People might think you're having a good time, man. Jim: Yeah. Well, it's not too bad. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: He's a pretty quiet guy. Christopher: He's taken a vow of silence. Jim: You guys actually do that? (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Blair: Jim, don't you think you're jumping the gun a little? I mean, this isn't some back alley in Cascade. Jeremy: I don't understand. What are you saying? Jim: This might not have been an accident. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jeremy: Must you bring more outsiders here? Blair: Brother Jeremy, a man has died. At the least, we're obligated to report it. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: You don't have to stay. Christopher: I'm as anxious as you are to find out who killed him. Blair: So you think he was murdered too? Why? Christopher: Wherever mortals gather, there is evil. I don't remember where I read that. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: Excuse me, sir. Brother Timothy was murdered. And I have the proof. Jeremy: But why would anyone want to kill him? Blair: We don't know that yet. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: Now, I want all of us to go into town together. I want you to wake all the men. Right now. Jeremy: Is that an order, Detective? Jim: Well, if it has to be, yes. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jeremy: You come barging into my world with your cynicism and your radios and your guns and your phones and now you're giving orders. Jim: Brother Jeremy, a man has been murdered. Now somebody has to take charge of this situation and deal with it, we can't deny that it happened. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jeremy: You don't like me, do you, Detective? You think I'm an anachronism. That our order serves no purpose. Jim: I didn't say that, sir. Jeremy: You didn't have to. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % "Guys, guys, let's deal with the subject at hand here, okay? We're all going to be a lot safer once we get out of here." -- Blair Sandburg, peacemaking between Jim Ellison and Brother Jeremy (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: Brother Theodore. Do you think you can handle this? Theodore: I've walked 15 miles three times a week for 40 years. Jim: In the middle of the night? Theodore: Would you care to put a C-note on it? Which, of course, I would turn over to the church. Jim: I'll take that bet. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Anthony: Some of the brothers are afraid of you and Blair. Jim: Afraid of us? Well, we're your only protection here. Anthony: They think you might be the killers. You are outsiders and you arrived the night that Timothy died. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: And what do you think? Anthony: Oh, I trust in the Lord. If he calls me, I'm more than willing to join him. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Anthony: Um, Frederick was an actor in the movies -- mostly low budget. Jim: That's why I recognize him. Of course. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Anthony: Christopher, I believe, was a life-insurance salesman. Jim: Ah, I see, that would explain why he talks so much. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Blair: You know, Jim... I could never do what these guys do. I mean, the sacrifice, the commitment... I just can't believe that one of them would kill another. Jim: You just got to remember they're flesh and bone, just like you and me. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: Wait a minute. Somebody's trying to set me up! Can't you see? They're trying to get me out of the way! You guys are in even more danger. Jeremy: Perhaps, but not from you. Blair: Jeremy, come on, you know me! Jeremy: I'm sorry, Blair. We can't take any chances. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: I already told you, Kozinski isn't here. Anthony: I told you, I don't believe you! I'll just start shooting and maybe I'll get lucky. When you see the big guy upstairs, tell him to teach you how to lighten up. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Marcus: Stop it. I'm Jackie Kozinski. Anthony: Get over here. Jim: Easy, easy. Frederick: Wait. I am Jackie Kozinski. Monk: Once... I was known as Jackie Kozinski. Michael: Thank you, brothers... but I'm Jackie Kozinski. Jeremy: And I...am Jackie Kozinski. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Marcus: Thank you, Brothers, but I think we've just sentenced ourselves to a mass grave. Jim: That's not going to happen. Blair, check that door. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % (Jim is tying up Anthony with one of the belts.) Michael: Uh, uh, I seem to be short a belt. Jim: It's still being used. Michael: He can keep it. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: Well, they've got guns, but 've got the man power. Now, we've got to rally the Brothers in order to fight. Jeremy: No, you see, as part of our vows we're committed to abstain from violence -- of any kind. Jim: Even if you're attacked? Jeremy: I'm sorry. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Blair: Oh, man. I can't believe this. I'm really sorry about judging you before. Marcus: I wouldn't blame you if you never spoke to me again. Blair: Vow of silence? Me? It's not possible. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % "Vow of silence? Me? It's not possible." -- Blair Sandburg to Brother Marcus (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: Is something wrong, sir? Jeremy: I must admit I'm having trouble accepting responsibility for my violent action. Jim: Well, if it's any help to you, I forgive you. Jeremy: Thank you, Brother Jim. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Jim: You know, next time we go away for a little peace and quiet, I'm going to choose the place. Blair: Okay. Where? Jim: I don't know. Uh... I'm thinking about a little contrast would be nice. Maybe Vegas. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Blair: Sin City? All right, great, but don't tell the monks that. It's sacrilegious. Jim: Oh yeah? Well, I guess then that rules out the favor I was going to ask them. Blair: What favor? Jim: I was going to ask Brother Theodore to bless my dice. (Sentinel: Vow of Silence) % Blair: When you're in Peru you've got to go to Cusco and see the remains of the Temple of the Sun. It's 400 miles from Lima -- absolutely beautiful. And of course you've got to go to Machu Picchu, the lost ancient city. And if you go north from there... Simon: Sandburg, I'm only gonna be in Lima for three days. Most of my time will be spent at the anti-narcotics conference. (Sentinel: Flight) % "Wait a minute, wait aminute. You're going to a country with all the cultural heritage of Peru and you're going fishing?" -- Blair Sandburg to Simon Banks (Sentinel: Flight) % Joel: He must be excited about this trip, though. Simon: He's 14. He don't get excited. It ain't cool. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: He's got his hands full. Blair: Ah... they're going to have a great time. Jim: They're going to kill each other. (on Simon and Daryl Banks) (Sentinel: Flight) % Simon: As soon as he gets it fixed, we're on our way fishing. Daryl: Yeah, right. Simon: Daryl, you love fishing. Daryl: No, Dad -- you love fishing. (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: All right! Jim: Some girl must have said yes. (Sentinel: Flight) % "Eli Stoddard -- one of the world's greatest living anthropologists and just happens to be my mentor -- got funding for an expedition to Borneo to study the effects of modern civilization and what it's done to the indigenous people that live there. And he asked me to go with him." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: Congratulations. You going to do it? Blair: I told him I needed to think about it. Jim: What's to think about? Go. Blair: You really think I should? Jim: Sure. You kidding me? A couple of weeks in Borneo sounds like a blast. (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: Jim, we're not talking about a couple of weeks here. I mean, this kind of study involves a major commitment of time. At least... a year. Jim: A year? What about, you know, our project -- this, uh, sentinel thing? Blair: Jim, I know, but...but this kind of opportunity... Jim: Then you should do it. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: Then you should do it. Blair: Are you upset? Jim: No. (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: All right, Jim. I'm all ready. Jim: Forget it, Chief. Blair: What are you talking about? I'm your backup. You need me. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: This is a potentially volatile situation, okay? Besides, the jungle is no place for you. Blair: Jim, I have been in the jungle before. (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: Well, Simon's my friend, too, you know and I'm going. Jim: You want to go along for the ride? Blair: Yeah. Jim: Then you do what I tell you, when I tell you. No questions asked. Blair: So what else is new? (Sentinel: Flight) % Daryl: Yeah, well, don't you have your gun? Simon: Yeah, I have my gun. My gun isn't going to save us, Daryl. Using our head is going to save us. (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: So, Jim, how's it feel to be back in the jungle, man? Jim: Got other things on my mind, Chief. Blair: It's just that we'll be near the area where you developed your heightened senses, right? Jim: I got other things on my mind. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: Let's make a fly-by and I'll parachute in. Blair: Parachute? Jim: Yeah. Vazquez: Over the jungle? You're crazy, senor. (Sentinel: Flight) % Sandoval: How will you get back? Jim: On foot if I have to. But I'm not leaving my friends. Vasquez: I doubt that they're alive. Jim: Then I'll bring back their bodies. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: Sandburg, what the hell are you doing? Blair: I used to go skydiving with a friend of mine. I was actually pretty good at it. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: This isn't some weekend lah-di-dah here, Chief. It's the jungle out there. You come in wrong, you could get hurt. Blair: I'll take my chances. Jim: I'll see you on the ground! I hope. (Sentinel: Flight) % "I can't believe I'm doing this!" -- Blair Sandburg, about to leap from a plane over the jungle (Sentinel: Flight) % Sandoval: God be with you, senor. Blair: That's great. Right now, I can use all the help I can get! (Sentinel: Flight) % "Oh... my... god! Jim! Jim! Jim, where you going? I don't know how to steer this! I've only jumped tandem!" -- Blair Sandburg, parachuting out of plane (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: All right, Tarzan, it's time to move out. Blair: Oh, wait a minute, Jim. I got something in my pants, man. Jim: How exciting. (Sentinel: Flight) % Daryl: Why do you cut down the trees? Reischer: It's my job. (Sentinel: Flight) % Simon: No, I'm stuck. You get out of here. Daryl: No, Dad. Simon: Boy, get out of here! Daryl: No! Simon: Daryl, I love you. Now get out of here! (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: Other people have been here. Lots of them. I just can't tell which trail is Simon and Daryl's. Blair: Just take your time and concentrate. Jim: I am concentrating. It just feels like my senses are...confused or something. (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: All right, close your eyes. Take a deep breath... Jim: Look, I don't have time for this, man. (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: You want to find them or not? You got to work with me. Now close your eyes. Okay. Now don't push it. Just let it happen. You getting anything? Jim: No... (Sentinel: Flight) % "Damn. I don't understand this, man. Uh... okay, um... there's got to be a explanation for...maybe it was the parachute jump, the sudden change in air pressure. Or, uh... maybe it's the shock of being back in the jungle." -- Blair Sandburg, applying the scientific method (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: I don't know. Maybe it's something in the food or the water. Jim: Let's just drop the scientific stuff, okay? Blair: Jim, if we can find out the cause, maybe we can fix it. Jim: Sandburg, let it go. Maybe we should just get some sleep, all right? Blair: Whatever, man. (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: Hey, Jim. You okay, man? Jim: My sentinel abilities are gone. It's as if someone just turned off the switch. Blair: Well, maybe it's just temporary. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: I never wanted this damned thing. All it's done is screw me up. Blair: Well, it's also saved your life more than once and the lives of a lot of other people too. Jim: What good is it if I can't control it? (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: What good is it if I can't control it? Blair: You can control it. It just takes time. Jim: We don't have time! Simon and Daryl need help now! (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: Well, damn it, Jim, tell me what's going on. I'm your partner. Jim: I've been seeing something. I don't even know if it's real. Blair: What have you been seeing? (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: What have you been seeing? Jim: A panther. I saw it when we first landed and ever since, I can feel it watching us and following us. I know it's there, but when I look, there's nothing. Last night, I saw it in a dream. It was more real than any dream I've ever had. (Sentinel: Flight) % "Well, the Indians would say that the panther is your animal spirit and it's trying to talk to you. And a psychologist would say that it's your unconscious mind trying to speak to you in symbols. Now either way, you just got to quit fighting it and see where it leads you." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison, about his visions of a panther (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: She says if you're going to bring back the foreign boy's father, could we bring back hers? Blair: Whew. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: Hey, Chief? I'm glad you came. Blair: Me too. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: Who are you? Spirit guide: The question is: who are you? (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: I don't understand. Spirit guide: Your return to the jungle was no accident. This is the place you were reborn as a sentinel. You have been brought back to complete the circle. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: Why have my abilities been taken away? Spirit guide: To remind you of who you were. What you've experienced so far is just an initiation. (Sentinel: Flight) % Spirit guide: Now is the time to make a choice. You can go back the way you came and be an ordinary man, or you can go forward, but to do so will require your life and your soul. Are you prepared to make such a journey? Jim: I'm not sure. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: I'm standing at the edge of a cliff. If I go forward, I'll die. Spirit guide: Yes. (pause) Jim: Okay, I'm ready. (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: Okay, we need some keys. God, can you believe these guys? Who's going to steal a truck in the middle of the jungle? Daryl: We are, man. Blair: Right. (Sentinel: Flight) % "Come on. Come on. Come on! I knew I should've taken auto shop." -- Blair Sandburg, trying to hotwire a truck (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: I guess you should call him back. Blair: Well, actually, I've already decided not to go. This sentinel thing... You know, it's more than just a research project. Uh... it's about friendship. I just didn't get it before. (Sentinel: Flight) % "This sentinel thing... You know, it's more than just a research project. Uh... it's about friendship. I just didn't get it before." -- Blair Sandburg, to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: You know, you were really something out there in the jungle, man. I've never seen you so focused, so in control. It was pretty amazing. You never did tell me how you got your powers back. Jim: They just came back. (Sentinel: Flight) % Blair: Why do I get the feeling like you're not telling me everything? Jim: Because I just don't have the energy to talk about it right now. We're home. Let's enjoy it. Blair: Welcome home, partner. (Sentinel: Flight) % Jim: And who is she? Blair: It's Angie Ferris. The singer. You never heard of her? Jim: As far as I'm concerned the last group worth listening to was Santana. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % "They're okay, but Ferris has a good sound. She's got a sort of pop-rock-gospel-classical thing going. Very socially conscious. Her last album did some really big numbers. She had this one hit was just slammin'. It had this... (makes drumming noises) (they all stare at him) My son listens to her, okay." -- Simon Banks, about Angie Ferris (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % "It's all right. I really dig it, you know when the old generation gets into new stuff." -- Blair Sandburg, about Simon Banks' interest in Angie Ferris (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Jim: Is he obsessed with her enough to track her down to get close to her? Nichols: He has the classic profile of a stalker. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: Oh, wait. Do you hear that? That has got to be from her new album. We're getting a sneak preview here, man. What do you think? Jim: She's no Aretha Franklin. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % "Thank you. My hearing's a little sensitive." -- Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: Pam? I told you to never let anyone in here without my permission! Pam: I'm sorry, mom. Angie: I want you to leave right now before I call the police. Jim: I'm Detective Ellison, Cascade Police Department. This is Blair Sandburg. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: Hi. Angie: Are you a cop, too? Blair: Actually, I'm a consultant to the police. Uh, really. (shows his ID) (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Simon: Come on, Jim. Don't take it so hard. There was nothing you could do. Jim: I should have anticipated Weston might already be here, Simon. I really screwed this one up. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Jim: I got to get back inside in case Weston comes back. Simon: What, are you kidding me? With what went down now, he's probably halfway to Mexico by now. Jim: Simon, this guy's crazy. Coming back is just the kind of thing he'd do. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: No way we are staying here another minute. Blair: Well, you can't just take off without police protection. Angie: Watch me. We are out of here. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: Look, would you please get your friend out of my face? Pam and I are leaving. Jim: To go where? Angie; Reno, L.A., China. As long as it's someplace else. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Jim: If you leave Cascade, we can't protect you. Angie: Oh, right. Like you protected us today? That lunatic killed Andy. What would have happened if he'd gotten in here? Jim: But he didn't, did he? (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: If you think I'll hang around here waiting to die, you're crazy. That is not my style. Pam..? Jim: You can't run from this, Miss Ferris. Angie: Oh, the hell I can't. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: Look, why can't Pam and I just sneak out and go to some hotel somewhere? That way, if this guy Weston does come back, you'll be here waiting for him and we will be somewhere else. Jim: I got careless and I let Weston get away. Now he's no fool. You go somewhere with your daughter, and I'm sure he'll figure it out. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: That's what this is really about, isn't it? You don't give a damn about us. You're just using us to catch him. Jim: I want Weston back in jail. Don't you? Angie: What I want is just to be left alone. Jim: Well then, help us get Weston off the street and out of your life. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: I don't like this one damn minute. All right. Let's just say I agree to do this, will you be the one to protect us? Jim: Me personally? Angie: You kept him away today. Look, if I'm going to entrust my life and my daughter's life to someone, you're the one. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Pam: Where are we going? Angie: We're not going anywhere, but there is nothing to be afraid of. Pam: Mom. Angie: (to Jim) Right? Jim: Right. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Clerk: Just take a few minutes to do the paperwork. Weston: You know, I hate that paperwork. Clerk: Ahh... it's the law. Weston: And we can't go breaking the law now, can we? I'll need a box of ammo. .9 millimeter. Clerk: Oh, for this baby, you need 12-gauge shells. Weston: Oh, yeah. No, it's not for that one. (pulls out gun and points it at clerk) It's for this. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Pam: You were really there? Blair: Uh-huh. Right there. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Pam: Wow. My teacher showed us a movie once where these people went all the way up the Amazon in a canoe. Did you do that too? Blair: Uh-huh. And I almost got eaten by a crocodile. Pam: No way. Blair: Way. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Pam: Wow. You've done some really cool stuff in your life. I wish I could do some cool stuff like that. Blair: What are you talking about? Your mom, she's a big star. Most kids would think that's pretty cool. Pam: Well, it isn't. She never lets me go to any of her concerts or anything. She says she wants me to have a regular life. Yeah, right. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: Your life is not so bad. I just want you to have the things that I never had as a kid. Like homemade cookies. Pam: Yeah, but how come I only do the things that you want me to do? Why can't I do some of the things that I want to do? Angie: 'Cause... (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Pam: It's mine. It's Jessica... (reaches for the phone) Angie: No phone today. You have homework to do, young lady. Pam: But mom, she 911'd me. Angie: And you will see her in school tomorrow. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Pam: Okay, but Blair's helping me with my social studies. Angie: And what about math? You have a test tomorrow, remember? Pam: Is it okay if he helps me with that too? Angie: Honey, I don't think we should be bothering him. Blair: It's no bother. I don't mind at all. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: I managed somehow. Maybe that's why I'm overprotective. I want to keep her out of the world that I grew up in. Jim: Well, I don't know too much about kids, but it seems if you protect them too much, they won't be prepared for the way things really are. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: What do you want? Weston: You know what I want, baby. I want you. Angie: Then, uh, why don't you come on over? Weston: Well, I already tried that and you called the police on me. Angie: I didn't call them. They came to me. Weston: Don't lie to me, sweetheart. I don't like it when people lie to me. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Weston: Trouble is, what about your cop friend? Angie: Who? Weston: You know who. He's probably right there. Put him on. Angie: There's no one here. Weston: Don't lie to me, Angie. Just put the man on the phone. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Weston: I just wanted to apologize for having to beat up on you like I did. I had to take care of myself. You know how it is. Jim: Maybe we can talk about it in person. Weston: Yeah, maybe we should. Look, you do me a favor and you keep an eye on that pretty little lady for me, okay? 'Cause I'm sure we're going to be seeing each other real soon. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Jim: We've got a lead on Weston. I've got to go. Angie: Wait a minute. I thought you were staying here with us. Jim: If I catch him now, this whole thing will be over. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % "I'll make a cop out of you yet." -- Jim Ellison, to Blair Sandburg (after Blair made an astute observation) (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: If she was using the phone, she might have written something down and if she did, there'd be an imprint On the page underneath. Give me your fingers, use your fingers. See if you can read it. Concentrate. Jim: (feeling paper) Bunch of them. Blair: Well, the last thing she wrote down would be the deepest. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Jim: If you see anything, call me. Blair: On what? Jim: Just call. Blair: Oh, right, right, right, right. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: I could've killed you. Jim: Yeah, you could've. Angie: I'm really sorry. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Pam: Yeah. Is he lying to me? Jim: I don't think so. Usually if Blair says something, it's, uh, true. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: You okay? Jim: Yeah, I'm fine. Blair: Come on, Jim. Talk to me. Jim: Oh, man. It's my arm. It's killing me. Blair: I thought it was only a flesh wound. Jim: I've been hurt much worse, believe me. I've never felt pain like this before, though. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: All right. Let's calm down and think for a second. Okay, you're outside, your senses are on full alert and, uh, your body just comes an open receptor for whatever stimuli comes your way. In this case, it just happened to be a bullet. Jim: Yeah, I know! I just want it to stop. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: You got to be able to control the intensity, be able to turn it up and down at will. Jim: I-I-I got to... Blair: Let's try something. Take a seat. Come on, Jim, take a seat. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: Okay. Okay, now, just let's remember our breathing. Close your eyes. Concentrate... And just let all the tension just flow right out of your body. Yeah. Jim: It still hurts. Blair: You've got the attention span of a gerbil. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % "You've got the attention span of a gerbil." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: Now, close your eyes and relax and let's journey to that part of the brain where your senses converge. Jim: What is this, Fantastic Voyage? (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: Look, Jim, if you don't want to cooperate... Jim: Okay, all right. All right. I'm converging. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: Okay. Now, picture something that you can control....picture a dial. Jim: Got it. Blair: Okay, now, imagine yourself turning it down, sort of like the volume control on a television set. Only you determine how much you feel. That's it. Jim: Wow. Yeah. Blair: It worked? Jim: Yeah. Yeah, it just kind of feels like a scratch now. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: It worked? Jim: Yeah. Yeah, it just kind of feels like a scratch now. Blair: Jim, this... this is a major breakthrough. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: Jim, this... this is a major breakthrough. Jim: Yeah, I feel all relaxed. It's great. Why don't you head back to bed? I'm just going to keep an eye on things out here. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: I'm not trying to excuse what I did. I mean, you tried to help me and I lied to you. It was selfish and stupid. Jim: And dangerous. Angie: Yeah. Jim: And self-destructive. Angie: Mmm, yes. Jim: Irresponsible. Angie: Maybe. Jim: And arrogant. Angie: Why don't you stop trying to be so damn helpful? (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: What I'm trying to say is, for some reason from the moment I met you, I trusted you. I don't know why. I just did. Jim: You trusted me so much you ran away, huh? (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Angie: Uh... look, you just don't understand. I've been taking care of myself for so long I don't know how to let anybody else in. I don't let people get close. Jim: Yeah, I know what you mean. Neither do I. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % "I told you I'd pay you back for what you did to me, didn't I? And I've been watching you, baby. I been keeping track of your success. Every time I heard that song, I wanted to kill you." -- Ray Weston to Angie Ferris (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: Great -- but how's the arm? Jim: I think I've finally gotten the pain thing under control, you know. Blair: Right. Another chapter for my dissertation. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Blair: You see, I knew we'd find some common ground sooner or later, Simon. You don't mind if I call you Simon, do you? Simon: Actually, I do. Blair: Sorry, sir. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Jim: If I do call, are there any other secrets I should know about? Angie: Just one, but you already know it. Jim: What's that? Angie: I'm a sucker for dangerous men. (Sentinel: Out of the Past) % Sheila: So, what's the body of the kidnap victim doing in the trunk of your ex-partner's car? Jim: Sounds as if you've made up your mind about the answer. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Simon: Look, Jim, maybe it's time you stopped protecting him. Blair: Protecting who? Simon: If that is Philip Brackley's body in the car, you know I.A. is going to be all over this and you better be damn sure you know where you stand. Jim: I'm sure, Simon. I've always been sure about this. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % "A high-speed car chase through the middle of downtown at the height of rush hour causing three traffic accidents. Four cars totaled, including the suspect's car. Does that ring any bells, Detective?" -- Captain Simon Banks chewing out Detective Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Jim: The perp was apprehended and taken off the street, sir. Simon: Yeah? At what cost?! Do you ever think about what you do?! Jim: Normally, sir, I just do it. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % "All right. Here's the bottom line, Jim -- I may be new to this department, but if you think I'm a pushover, you've got another thing coming. You may have been a hotshot on Vice, but around here, you're just part of my dog team! Is that clear?!" -- Captain Simon Banks chewing out Detective Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Simon: Hiya, Jack. Jim, this is your new partner, Jack Pendergrast. Jim: Partner, sir? Or baby-sitter? Simon: Whatever. As of now, you're on probation. You screw up one more time, you'll wish you were back on Vice. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Jim: Lead on, kimosabe. Jack: You'll go real far in this department, Slick. Jim: Meaning what? Jack: Meaning fix the attitude if you want to stick around for a while. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Jack: Right now you think you got all the answers. But in this job, that can get you killed. Jim: I can handle myself. Jack: I'm sure that you can, but there's always room for improvement. If you're willing to learn. Your choice, Slick. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % "Oh, yeah, one other thing. You want to ride with me, get yourself some decent clothes and lose the earring, will you? I wouldn't want the bad guys to get the wrong impression, if you know what I mean. See you, Slick." -- Jack Pendergrast to Jim Ellison (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Simon: There's gotta to be a mistake. Sheila: No mistake. If I were you, the next call I'd make would be to my lawyer. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Blair: Isn't that circumstantial? Jim: Wake up, Chief. Most murder convictions are based on circumstantial evidence. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Simon: I never should have hooked you two up together. You never wanted to see the great Jack Pendergrast for the way he is. Jim: How was Jack Pendergrast? I really don't care how people perceived him. Jack taught me a lot. I thought he was a great man. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Simon: If I'm going to keep you on this case, you are going to have to maintain your objectivity. Jim: Maintain my objectivity, huh, sir? Like you have? (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Jim: Will you cut that out. Blair: What? Jim: Those concerned glances -- like somebody's lost puppy dog. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Jim: Are we done here? Sheila: For the moment. But if you want to salvage your career...I suggest you start giving us something other than attitude. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Jim: Jack's dead. There's no question. Blair: Come on, Jim, I know you're good but isn't that being a little definite? (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Jim: Something bugs me about this case. Blair: What, there's just one thing? (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Jim: What's this? Blair: It's food, Jim. You remember that? (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Monique: Look...maybe we could cut some kind of a deal. Jim: Deal, huh? For the murder of a cop? We hang people in this state for that. I'd pull the trap door release if I could. (Sentinel: Deep Water) % Blair: Ooh! Check out the bow tie. "If not us, who? If not now, when?" Oh, man, I thought I was a geek in high school. Jim and Simon: Was? (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Jim: What are you doing? Simon: Three hours in the car with him? I need something to help me relax. I've been dying for a smoke ever since Cascade. Jim: Not in my car. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Simon: You know, I could order you to let me. Jim: We're off duty, sir. Simon: Well, if we're off duty, quit calling me "sir." Ever tell you how much I hate that? Jim: Yes, sir. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Simon: All right, how 'bout this? How 'bout you guy come in for a drink with me? One drink? I'm buying. Blair: You know what, Jim? I believe that our otherwise fearless captain... I think he's afraid to go in there alone, man. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Simon: You know, guys, the reunion's not till tomorrow night. I still think we can make... Jim: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, we only have two tents or else we'd love to have you with us. Simon: I could sleep out under the stars. Jim: Well, maybe you can do that on your balcony. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Simon: You still managing this place? Billy: What do you suppose? I'm going to retire? They'll have to drag me out of here with both feet in the air just like a racehorse. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Billy: Are you checking in? Jim: No. We're actually going kayaking. Simon: And I'm still deciding. Becker: That's not like you, Simon. You were the most decisive man I ever met. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Becker: Oh. Well, here in Rossberg we got two kinds of cops -- deputies and me. It's a much simpler way of doing business. Of course, we don't have all the murders, robberies, carjackings, and gangs like you guys do. Simon: Guess that's why people move to small towns. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Blair: That must be her. Peggy -- Jim and Blair: The one that got away. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Jim: Maybe we should stick around in case you decide to leave or you need some... Blair: Back up. Jim: Back up. Simon: Get out of here. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Billy: Oh, Simon. Leaving that pretty lady up there all alone. Simon: You still think you know everything that goes on in this hotel, don't you? Billy: Eyes in the back of my head. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Simon: Also said you'd gone home for the day. Billy: Well, you're talking to me, so I guess I must still be here. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Becker: Shut up! Simon: What the hell was that for? Becker: Just you and I having our differences, Simon. Just like old times. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Simon: Oh, come on, Dave, we were kids. Becker: Yeah, that's right. Now, we're all grown up and you're a prisoner attempting to escape. Oh, I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Jim: You're telling me we're lost. Blair: No, no, we're not lost. Just 40 miles in the wrong direction, that's all. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % "No, no, we're not lost. Just 40 miles in the wrong direction, that's all." -- Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Blair: Jim, the bullet went right through. We've got to get him stitched up. He's losing a lot of blood. If we don't stop it, he could bleed to death. Simon: Sandburg, will you quit talking about me like I'm not even here. I'm not hysterical. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % "Sandburg, will you quit talking about me like I'm not even here. I'm not hysterical." -- Simon Banks to Blair Sandburg (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Sturges: I'm worried -- two people have been killed over this. Becker: Yeah, but I'll tell you something -- pretty soon, it will be three. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Billy: Excuse me, son. Uh, say, what size uniform do you wear? (Jim comes around corner and knocks officer out.) (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Sturges: If this information had gotten out, we'd be finished. Becker: Peggy always said she wanted to die for a good cause. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Blair: It's too late for that. They're burning down the hotel. Jim: What'd you say? Blair: I just overheard Becker. You got to get Simon out of there now! Jim: Oh, for god's sake. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Becker: This is my town. Simon: Not anymore. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Simon: You're finally going to get a chance to retire. Billy: Oh, work s just beginning for me. We'll build the place back better than new when they get things straightened out at the plant. Simon: Forgive me if I don't show up for the opening. Billy: Don't let me have to look for you. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Simon: Knew I should have gone with you guys. Jim: The way Sandburg navigates, we'd probably be lost and mauled by a sasquatch or two. (The Sentinel: Reunion) % Mike: Hey, Jimbo, what's this about you having a partner? I thought you worked solo. Jim: The captain's here trying to keep me on a short leash. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Mike: Race Peters. He's a bottom feeder. He rides with the Void. Blair: And the Void would be..? Jim: The jackasses on bikes in black leather. They run meth labs and worship the ghosts of Sid Vicious. (The Sentinel: Payback) % "Cancel your lunch plans, gentlemen. It's going to be a long day." -- Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: Payback) % Blair: Ooh, what's with the missing pinky? Jim: It's called yubitsume. When a Yak soldier disgraces his boss or oyabun, as they call him, he has to offer a piece of himself in return as tribute. Simon: I like that. Take a note of that, Sandburg. Blair: Duly noted. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Simon: Mike... any of these guys Race Peters? Mike: No, but it doesn't matter anymore. Now the Void will have to strike back. There's going to be blood in the streets. Jim: How do we handle it? Simon: Like they do in the mideast. We call a summit before this thing breaks out into open war. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Akiko: These men are all fully licensed to carry concealed. They're part of Mr. Kadama's executive security detail. The .45 is his own. Jim: And what are you carrying? Akiko: Just this. (hands Jim a card) Akiko Keno, chief counsel to Kada Corp., North America. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Hessman: Ah, excuse me. Just where do you get off telling us how to run things? Simon: Shut up! The only reason any of you are sitting at this table is because I don't have enough evidence to run your asses in -- yet. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Akiko: You don't approve of me, do you? Jim: I was just wondering why would a good lawyer with a lot of clients to choose from would work with Kenji Kadama? Akiko: Legal stem says everyone's entitled to legal counsel. Jim: You didn't answer my question. Akiko: You're right. I didn't. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Kurt: Hey, he was breathing when he walked in there. That bitch served him coffee, and now he's dead. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Jim: All right. I'll bite. What's up? Blair: Nothing. Jim: Nothing? (The Sentinel: Payback) % Blair: All right, there is something. I mean, we work together every day, right? I'm staying at your place and still you're like this enigma. Jim: Enigma? Blair: Yeah, an enigma. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Jim: What do you mean? Blair: That thing with the bikes today, the Harleys. You're an expert. Jim: I was into bikes in high school. Blair: Why didn't you tell me? Jim: You never asked. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Jim: This was supposed to be a academic relationship. Next thing I know, you're gonna want the pin number to my ATM. Blair: 3840. Your parents' birthdates, remember? Jim: See? My point exactly. A man's got to have little privacy, okay? Just a little bit. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Blair: Look, Jim, if I'm ever going to construct a valid sensory profile of you, I'm going to need everything, the whole mosaic. Jim: What did you just say? Blair: I need to know everything. Jim: Everything. Blair: From the moment your mother had that c-section. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Blair: You know, Jim, far be it for me to tell you how to do your job... Jim: Uh-huh? Blair: But if she is a murder witness, didn't you tip her off? I mean, what if you're waiting at her office over there and she's on some flight to Osaka? Jim: That's why we're following her. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Jim: But I doubt she'll skip. Blair: How come? Jim: 'Cause I don't think she did it. And her boss, she hates him. Blair: How do you know that? Jim: Instinct. (The Sentinel: Payback) % "I'm sorry to interrupt your joyride like this, but I've got this thing about keeping my appointments." -- Jim Ellison to Akiko (The Sentinel: Payback) % Killibrew: Lloyd Killibew...special agent in charge. Jim: What the hell's the FBI got to do with this? Killibrew: Don't ask, sport. You're in way over your head. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Jim: So what's a GS22 like you doing in Cascade? Killibrew: Working on the US/Japanese trade deficit. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Jim: Oh, don't tell me. She's a confidential informant. Killibrew: Something like that. Akiko: I'm not an informant. Jim: Right. What are you? Killibrew: That's strictly need to know, pal, and you don't. (The Sentinel: Payback) % "Look, in the history of law enforcement, no agency, and I mean, none, has ever penetrated an Asian gang. The Yakuza run the deadliest crime organization on the planet. They make the US mafia look like Disney characters." -- Special Agent Killibrew (The Sentinel: Payback) % Killibrew: She risks her life to come here and we're not gonna risk that for some biker boss who sells speed to school kids. Jim: We're not talking about one biker. We've got about eight stiffs already. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Akiko: I got to get back. (Jim grabs her hand and holds up her pinky.) Jim: Before you lose one of these? (The Sentinel: Payback) % Jim: I guess I misjudged you. Akiko: Yeah, well, you were supposed to. It's how I stay alive. At any rate, you're good. Nobody ever made me before. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Killbrew: Nobody can know she's undercover and I mean nobody, including your boss. If she's compromised, she'll be dead in a hour. Jim: I'll take that under advisement. (The Sentinel: Payback) % "Whoo! Hi, Jim. I'm finally getting some insight on why you guys do this stuff. I mean, the adrenaline rush. My endorphins are spiking." -- Blair Sandburg to Jim Ellison (The Sentinel: Payback) % Simon: So let me understand this. First, your research assistant is involved in a high speed chase, then you... Blair: Actually, uh, it's teaching fellow, Captain. Simon: Then you lose a murder suspect in traffic. That's real good, Jim. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Blair: Hey, how about letting me drive, man. Jim: Uh, no thanks. Blair: Why not? Jim: Because I got a $1000 deductible on my insurance, you left the bathroom a complete mess, and the Mariners lost to Texas. How many other reasons do you need? (The Sentinel: Payback) % Simon: So, who has the C-4? The Yaks or the Void? Jim: I don't know. But whoever's got it has enough explosives to make Oklahoma City look like a truck backfire. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Jim: Nice catch, Chief. You saved a lot of lives. Blair: Except for one. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Blair: I don't know how you guys get used to this stuff, man. Jim: We don't. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Akiko: This isn't over. Jim: It hasn't even begun. (The Sentinel: Payback) % Jim: Just do me a favor. Akiko: What's that? Jim: When you're out dining with Kenji? Akiko: Yeah? Jim: Stay away from the puffer fish. (The Sentinel: Payback) %
