"I planted evidence on a guy once, back in 95. We were paying $100 an eight-ball to snitches. We got a call from our pal, Ray Likanski. He couldnt find enough guys to rat out. Anyway, he tells us theres a guy pumping up in an apartment up in Columbia Point. We go in, me and Nicky. Fifteen years ago, when Nicky went in, it was no joke. So its a... its a stash house, right? The old ladys beat to shit, the husbands mean, cracked out, trying to give us trouble, Nicky lays him down. Were doing an inventory, but it looks like we messed up because theres no dope in the house, and I go in the back room. Now, this place was a shithole, mind you? Rats, roaches, all over the place. But the kids room, in the back, was spotless. No, I mean, he swept it, mopped it; it was immaculate. The little boys sitting on the bed, holding onto his playstation for dear life. Theres no expression on his face, tears streaming down. He wants to tell me he just learned his multiplication tables."

"[voiceover] I always believed it was the things you dont choose that makes you who you are. Your city, your neighborhood, your family. People here take pride in these things, like it was something theyd accomplished. The bodies around their souls, the cities wrapped around those. I lived on this block my whole life. Most of these people have. When your job is to find people who were missing, it helps to know where they started. I find the people who started in the cracks and then fell through. This city can be hard. When I was young, I asked my priest how you could get to heaven and still protect yourself from all the evil in the world. He told me what God said to his children. "You were sheep among wolves. Be wise as serpents, yet innocent as doves."
