Hostile Takeover (2009)

Robert Gant: Lloyd Arrington

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Horatio Caine : So you broke down the door, and then provided false testimony to secure the restraining order against Matthew.

  Lloyd Arrington : That guy couldn't move on with his life. What was I supposed to do, wait until he killed one of us?

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Need I remind you that perjury is a felony, and you're facing five years.

  Lloyd Arrington : Yeah, I want a lawyer.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : And you're going to need one. You used the system to kick a man who was already down.

  [Jesse knocks on the window to attract Horatio's attention] 

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : What did we get?

  Jesse Cardoza : I dug up underlying court documents related to the Sloan divorce. Affidavit of the minor Jason Sloan.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [seeing a picture of Jason with a black eye]  The little boy.

  Jesse Cardoza : There was a history of abuse. Beatings. At first, the boy admitted his dad's the one who knocked him around, then he recanted. And Child Services said the only reason he recanted because he feared his father, and the judge agreed. Matthew Sloan lost custody three weeks ago.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : This is the justice that Matthew was looking for.

  Jesse Cardoza : [nodding towards Arrington]  You know, that guy lied about getting the TRO. Maybe he's the abuser.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : There's only one way to find out.

  Jesse Cardoza : Follow the evidence.

• Calleigh Duquesne : Has your ex-husband approached you or attempted to contact you in any way?

  Tanya Arrington : No. Here's a picture of Mathew.

  Calleigh Duquesne : Thank you. Have you got any idea where he might go? Friends? Other family?

  Tanya Arrington : We haven't seen him since the restraining order was issued last month.

  Calleigh Duquesne : You have a restraining order against Mathew?

  Tanya Arrington : When I filed for divorce, he didn't take it well.

  Lloyd Arrington : Yeah. He acted like it was her fault he lost everything they had to that fraud, Ripley.

  Calleigh Duquesne : So, are you saying that you believe your divorce had something to do with business dealings with Darren Ripley?

  Tanya Arrington : I knew that guy was no good, but Mathew wouldn't listen. He lost all of our savings. After I left him, he would call at all hours, just show up at my work, wanting to explain himself.

  Calleigh Duquesne : Tell me about the restraining order.

  Lloyd Arrington : He showed up a month ago, freaking out, picked a fight with my front door, and then ran off like a coward.

  Tanya Arrington : That was the last straw. I didn't feel safe. We got a TRO, which only made him angrier.

  Calleigh Duquesne : Could have been what incited today's incident.

  Tanya Arrington : Who knows why Mathew does anything? He had to agree to get on meds just to get visitation rights.

  Calleigh Duquesne : What about your son? Does he have a cell phone? Would Mathew try and contact him?

  Tanya Arrington : That's exactly why I won't let him have one.

  Calleigh Duquesne : Well, I'd like to talk to him anyway, if you don't mind.
