(looking at the cache of weapons recovered by the team)
Lt. Harrelson: Well, somebody's gone into the importing business. German Mauser NG34, Skoda 701, a bunch of armor piercing ammunition.
Kay: Not exactly your average Saturday Night Special stuff.
Street: I'd hate to be a street cop going up against all this
McCabe: Yeah, you wouldn't have a chance.
Luca: How does a punk like Joe Parsons come off having this kind of firepower?
Lt. Harrelson: That's what we're going to have to find out, and fast. edit »
(showing Shannon the newspaper article about the capture of their customer Parsons)
Kurt Dietrich: Trouble.
Michael Shannon: No trouble for us. Parsons won't talk, he knows better.
Dietrich: The S.W.A.T. team sounds good. What if they trace the weapons?
Shannon: Then we'll just find out who's better, us or them. edit »

Luca: I'm gonna tell you something T.J., I got a hunch you're going to set undercover police work back at least 20 years. edit »
Michael Shannon: Kurt, you were right about S.W.A.T. Check in to all the newspaper files. Dig out everything you can about Harrelson and his S.W.A.T. team.
