Dep. Comm. Patrick Doherty: It took my kid a long time to get straightened out, John. Getting a job is tough with a record. But finally, he did it. He even got married. Last month, he actually gave me a grandson.
Lt. John Stillman: I heard. Congratulations.
Dep. Comm. Patrick Doherty: Which is right about when I finally admitted to myself that getting locked up was the best thing that ever happened to my son. Which, I guess, is my roundabout way of saying you were right. So, I'm going to return the favor.
Lt. John Stillman: Pat, it was a long time ago.
Dep. Comm. Patrick Doherty: When or if you get your detective back, I expect you to do the same.
Lt. John Stillman: Nick?
Dep. Comm. Patrick Doherty: Take him off line. Send him to psych services. If that doesn't work, take away his badge. Take care of it, John. I realize now it's the only way.
