XEdie: Your boy was on my territory!
Murdoch: And you on mine. We even.
Edie: Even, old man? I count three to your one. A smart man'd mind the odds and back the fuck off, 'cause I ain't done here. Somebody need learnin' on not pushin' me.
Murdoch: One that you see.
Edie: ... what?
Murdoch: A smart woman might think of countin' windows sometimes. But smarts never was your strong point, eh, Edie? Go home.
Edie: You can't order me around --
Murdoch: The hell I can't. You coulda saved face if you left when I let you say Baptiste was your territory. Now you just gonna leave.
Edie: And if I don't? What makes you so damn sure you gonna win?
Murdoch: Nobody wins a fight. Do this for five years, an' you learn that much. Nobody wins. But believe me, little girl... I can make you lose.

New-minted Constable Peter Grant has a problem. He's got exclusive eyewitness testimony of a murder -- but his witness is a ghost. And speaking with the dead is about to be the least weird thing in his life...

Since my husband actually asked me about this, the reason everyone keeps calling Murdoch 'old man' has little to do with his age (though at twenty-three he is slightly older than most of the gang types); it's because he's been a têtê for five years. This is about five times what most manage.
I have a houseguest for the next week, and I'm already behind on life, but I promise I'll get around to doing some more stuff here soon. Including responding to comments in a more timely manner, dammit! Darn real life.
