I don't want to waste your time or anything, but suicide's a big legacy to leave behind. There was something else...
Now we need to set the record straight.
Luke, the only one who can judge you... is you.
I messed a lot of things up. This is the only thing I ever did right, my boy, Jason. He's 11 now. Wants to play hockey, I sign him up. Junior League asked me to leave, won't let him play because of what they say I did. It broke his heart.
Well, there's always soccer.
It doesn't matter where you've been. It only matters where you go.
It's been four years, Bobby. What took you so long to come forward?
Special Forces. Went from training at Fort Bragg to two tours in Afghanistan. Just got home.
A bus ticket doesn't prove he was with you.
Ma'am, Army thinks one of its top soldiers is a criminal. You gotta make it right. Staff Sergeant Donley changed my life; the least I can do is honor his.
[In a flashback scene told by Jerry Harkin, Kevin's father, SSG Donley arrives at Kevin's funeral to offer his condolences. Jerry follows Donley, angry and meaning to confront him, but finds Donley speaking quietly with Kevin's younger brother, Ethan.]
Ethan, right? Man, your brother talked a lot about you. I'm sure that everybody's telling you you gotta be strong for your pop, and you got big shoes to fill. But none of that answers any of your questions, right? About why all this had to happen? I wish I could tell you; I can't. No one can. But if you ever get sad about your brother, I want you to remember this.
[The flashback ends abruptly; Jerry Harkin is trying to compose himself.]
Sorry.
Take your time.
He, um... he told my son Ethan that... he shouldn't feel sad about never seeing Kevin again. Because, every time he saw a soldier on TV, in the news, on the street- anywhere- that... he was seeing a piece of Kevin. That Kevin was now... a part of something bigger. Now, I might not have agreed with Mike that much but... what he said stays with me today. It's how I get by.
Know the difference between a mosquito and a lawyer?
One's a blood-sucking parasite, the other's an insect.
When it is darkest, men see the stars.
Talon, huh? It's time we stick our claws in her.
My mother worked at Jones Brothers' Circus. She was a fortune-teller, I'm a psychic. Always felt that Mia's accident was anything but.
Then just tell us you you feel killed her and we'll clear this up by lunchtime.
That girl was a bud about to bloom, all she needed was a double dose of Eddie.
I might just hit you on principle.
[at a wedding, after learning the bride was a murder suspect] Might not be such a boring night after all...
Remember where you were when Mick got killed?
20-some-years ago? Where were you?
Not my gun that killed a guy.
Cody "Squirrel" Blanchard: What kind of cops are you?
Det. Scotty Valens: The kind that don't care about you!
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.
