Closing off the two carotid arteries stops blood flow to the brain. It takes a matter of seconds and very little pressure, Adam. It's about the position of the ligature, not the force behind it.

You know what they say: keep your friends close, enemies closer, and if that doesn't work, kill 'em.
I'm old school, Danny. You know? I took an oath and I take it literally. My responsibility is first and foremost to the people of this city and the job that I do.
That's exactly what I'm holding out for a little respect.
Every single police officer in this city devotes their life to the protection of the people who live here.
Really? Besides the ones that are sitting in their asses right now?
I respect everyone who stands behind their convictions, but I can not stand men who are motivated purely by greed and the destruction of others.
Honestly, I think what Danny's doing is selfish.
Really? Well, I see it as committed.
Seems to me he has a lot of other things to commit to right now, not to mention it's irresponsible to risk suspension when you are expecting a baby.
Hawkes! You transferred over from the ME's office, which means you are not a sworn NYPD. There was no decision for you to make. You can not say for sure what would you do.
Yes, I can. If I earned a distinction of being a detective, I'd be here whether or not the city can afford to pay me.
