Emotionally manipulative Kellerman plays the victim, using his attempted suicide to regain Cox's interest. A bitter patrolman who was shot and blinded in an episode in the first season returns to testify at a parole hearing for his attacker, but at the last minute realizes he has to stop being a victim and move on. Cracking under the strain of his childhood abuse memories, Bayliss pitilessly interrogates a teenage girl suspected of killing her abusive father. The writers are so good at getting you to see the small picture through the blinkered vision of its characters that, like the cops, you don't see the big defining moments coming. They made for great TV, but they also rang true.
Nothing is simple, nothing is forgotten, nothing is finished.
