Quotes 

• Sergeant Wade Grey : She's spent the last four years neck-deep in paranoia and adrenaline. Lying every time she opened her mouth. Striking out at any sign of aggression. Now don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for her service but transitioning back into a uniform, that's going to be a bitch.

  John Nolan : So you made her my T.O.?

  Sergeant Wade Grey : I didn't have much say in that matter. She would eat a 25-year-old recruit alive. At least you stand a chance.

• Tim Bradford : Grey's put you in a bad position. She's a land mine waiting to go off, so if you find yourself in a jam, you text Officer Chen. We'll be there.

  John Nolan : Thank you.

  Tim Bradford : Don't get all emotional on me. Training rookies is a sacred duty and it bothers me when cops don't treat it that way.

• Nyla Harper : I don't answer to you, 5%.

  John Nolan : No, you don't but if you are committed to making this an antagonistic relationship, don't expect me to roll over and take it.

• John Nolan : Because when people are having their worst day I want to be there to try and help make it right.

  Nyla Harper : Oh God, you're one of those.

  John Nolan : One of what?

  Nyla Harper : A guardian. There are two kinds of cops, Officer Nolan. Warriors and guardians. One's a hunter, the other's a nurturer. One is only alive when they're in the fight, the other is happy to clock out after twelve. One is worth my time, the other is not.
