Joe and Barry in “Unfinished Business”

How did you get hurt, Barr? All right, look... you don't have to share right now if you want to. Just know that I'm here. Always.

Something's coming, Joe. I have to make a sacrifice. But at the same time, I can't help but feeling like it means I'm giving up.

Giving up?

Yeah.

When I was a beat cop, you know, I walked the same patrol every day. One morning, I'm responding to a noise complaint. Out of nowhere, pop. Bullet flies by my head. I got pinned, I called for backup, but everything was telling me that's it. Next morning... Barr, I can't even tell you how... scared I was... to go back there in them streets.

But you did.

Yeah. [shows his police badge] 'Cause of this. Our badges, your emblem, they're symbols of the strength that we're charged with to get back out there. We don't make a choice to die. We would never choose to do that. But when we hear the call of duty... We're willing to make that sacrifice. And that's not giving up, Barr. That's what you call resilience. And I know you to have plenty of that.
